Why haven’t we found out WTF happened in 1971? Is there a book about this?

I'm probably missing something, and a book would be very interesting, but I've always though this was a straw-man "mystery": • The first personal computer was in 1971. • The first electronic stock market (NASDAQ) as in 1971. • Gold standard was ended by Nixon in 1971. Because of these three things, humans have become really good at maximizing productivity-per-dollar and a more efficient allocation of capital.

have you seen this (2nd video of a 3 part series) not endorsing the views at all but thought-provoking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L39Xr6bU9Mg

This is absolutely the book to read. Herman Khan (Dr. Strangelove) hired him at the Hudson Institute around the same time it was published (1972!) https://www.amazon.ca/Imperialism-Economic-Strategy-American-Empire/dp/3981826086

A lot of GDP gains from PC age starting up which didn't get spread out to workers but rather to stock holders?
