The United States is a much wealthier country than in 1913.
People have cars, iphones, color flatscreen TVs, a 2 car garage, and a home in the neighborhood of their choice. The United States also has the strongest military in the history of the planet.
Darn that Federal Reserve!

Fiat money created out of thin air is not wealth. . . .
The US is a 'much wealthier country' if you are not intelligent enough to understand how the smoke and mirrors work along with the shell game.
Money is a means to obtain wealth, or create more wealth. But it is not typically wealth itself. The USA, its people and businesses are far wealthier in so many ways than 100 years ago. And a large part of that was/is due to the desirability and fiat nature of our USD. The fiat dollar enable the means of production that led to the US having a great impact on the outcome of WW2. And since then the fiat dollar has enable the USA to stay on top of the world, militarily and economically.
