Agreed that many of them are spurious (or the cause of other things that probably have no causal link to Bretton-Woods, such as no-fault divorce or the war on drugs) but there are still a lot that do seem to have a sharp discontinuity at 1971, particularly income vs productivity, and CPI, which is actually a more frightening chart in my opinion

They all seems to point to 1971, nothing random about that I understand that correlation != causation, but it also seems obvious that getting out of Bretton Woods has some major impact
