Title: Finely observed but....
Review: A fascinating gathering of some of the trivial details thatreally DO describe what it felt like (or must have felt like). Thismay have been unintentional but, taking a decade at a time, the book"feels" rather depressing or, to put it another way, sincethe 1940s, its been mostly downhill. Judging by the book's size and... pricetag one might conclude the defining event of the 20th centurywas inflation. END
