Well, the Roaring 20s, if I recall, was actually characterized by high unemployment and misery for most coupled with a burst of profitability for middle and upper class people (the US was the only non-destroyed fully-industrialized Western nation).

The Poors (e.g. labor, veterans, flu-disabled) were a large majority, had no rights, and were often killed or injured at work, and under constant military assault for their efforts to unionize.

Honestly sounds ~ like the 2010s to me.
