The "absurdity" of conservative nostalgia for 1950s social norms pales in comparison to the absurdity of liberal idolisation of the structure of the American economy in the 1950s.

The imagined golden age of high wages and 90% top marginal rates was an exceptional period rather than a norm. It was only possible as a result of highly exceptional conditions-- most importantly the fact that the United States accounted for half of global output. To imagine that the economy could be similarly structured in the absence of such conditions is utter folly.
