What's the Essence of the Bomb?
Wages have gone out by a factor of 25. Productivity hasn't gone up at all, so it must be that prices have gone out as well. If productivity is increasing elsewhere in the economy, that means that's pushing wages up and pushing input costs up. And if productivity isn't going up, prices must rise.

It depends on tastes and upon substitutes.
