Unlike price inflation, “size inflation” is an underreported problem
plaguing the world, according to The Economist. For example, size 14
women’s pants in the UK are actually four inches wider than a size 14 from
the 1970s, which means today’s pair was formerly a size
18<http://app.memberships.executiveboard.com/e/er?utm_campaign=ADR-ACHOUDHARY-2012-04-27-M-News-NLID&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua&s=693&lid=168208&elq=2fd8fd372a6a48f5bce581f8f6922f6d>.
Making people feel better by numbers and rank is an apparent epidemic.

from the 1980s now earning A’s, and the hiring of Chief Revenue Protection
Officers who were once known as ticket inspectors.
