GDP per capita in the UK is still lower than it was in 2008.

Gen Z have never experienced economic growth. They don't know what it means to get richer.

I remember when Gordon Brown promised "An end to boom and bust economics." I didn't that meant realise no more booms.

In the 90s in the UK, skilled working class tradesmen making huge amounts of money was such a stereotype that there was even a comedy character about it. I can't imagine seeing that happen again.
