The standard of living has jumped so high we can’t pay for it. We o'ould still live well according to the old standards but we don’t do it because the neighbors don’t. Sober reflection should be enough to convince us that for all our vaunted higher standard of living, we are no more contented and 'certainly no happier than our fathers and grandfathers.
