Because inflation and stock markets are going nuts. And since everyone working has their pension invested, their wealth went up as well. Plus house prices went up. The problem is that people confuse wealth with money. And wealth is not money. You can’t buy bread with wealth.

By definition if inflation doubles and the value of your estate doesn’t change, your actual wealth didn’t change.

Actually, it did—it was cut in half.
