"Normal" politics is the world c. 1995, and "Normal" economics is the white upper-middle class post war US economy.

Why? Presumably because those periods most comparatively advantaged the demographics of the people inclined to make such comments.

Of course 171Bn is "normal", and most of human history has been more unequal, not less.
