Is there a way to make a chart like this that shows the growth of the total global money supply (liquidity? M1, M2, eurodollar?) over time, compared to the prices of homes, S&P 500, gold, etc?  That is, the causes and magnitudes of the actual decrease in purchasing power over recent decades.  Like, my index fund looks like it's going way up, but it's not really, is it?  I was surprised how this chart flattened out. You can rephrase all that to make it make sense.
