He was wrong but not necessarily for this reason.
If anything, it’s many of the basics that have become more expensive. Housing and education are far more expensive today then 100 years ago (as a share of average salary). And some things like health care, while more effective today, definitely absorbs a much higher share of people’s wallets (and the nation’s GDP).
