Spitalfields, 1901. This at the height of the empire when Britain was the richet country on earth. Jack London’s People of the Abyss is a good corrective to “The good old days”.

The only people who larp over the good ol days are the ones claiming others want to return to the good ol days.
Not far off of how we are now
But think of the GDP that we are constantly told is the gold standard for how a country is doing.
It’s all bullshit.
All politics and all economics is just bullshit piled on top of bullshit in a heap that is infinitely high.
OP’s title is ridiculous.
Nobody in London is under the impression that Spitalfields in 1901 was a good time.
