For context, all good calculations of past wealth take into context the price of grain
However, grain has been one of the goods that have decreased in price adjusted for inflation the least, since although we have gotten better at farming, we have gotten MUCH better at transportation, infrastructure, communications etc
Considering that now agriculture is about 1/10th of the global economy, all of the figures you see online should be tenthed
