Deirdre McCloskey and other economists remind us often and powerfully that humans have seen unimaginable increases in wealth of all kinds in the centuries between Pepys’ day and our own. Surely, the differences between Pepys’ stones and mine are a part of that wealth. Surely this is one of the uses of history and of literature. Reading wisely, we can take ourselves out of our own world and see how far we have come. And we can begin to think about how far we may be able to go.
