APPENDIX: INFLATION ADJUSTMENT

 
    What $1,000 Then Would Be Worth Now
    A sum of $1,000 in 1840 had the same buying power as about $23,200 in 2013, according to the tables used by most economists. * To convert a dollar figure in 1840 to today’s dollars in rough terms, multiply the older value by 23.2.
    1840: $1,000 = $23,200 in 2013 (multiply by 23.2 for today’s value)
    1850: $1,000 = $27,800 in 2013 (multiply by 27.8)
    1860: $1,000 = $25,700 in 2013 (multiply by 25.7)
    1870: $1,000 = $18,300 in 2013 (multiply by 18.3)
    1880: $1,000 = $23,900 in 2013 (multiply by 23.9)
    1890: $1,000 = $25,700 in 2013 (multiply by 25.7)
    1900: $1,000 = $27,800 in 2013 (multiply by 27.8)
    1910: $1,000 = $24,800 in 2013 (multiply by 24.8)
    1920: $1,000 = $11,700 in 2013 (multiply by 11.7)
    1930: $1,000 = $14,000 in 2013 (multiply by 14.0)
    1940: $1,000 = $16,700 in 2013 (multiply by 16.7)
    1950: $1,000 = $9,700 in 2013 (multiply by 9.7)
    1960: $1,000 = $7,900 in 2013 (multiply by 7.9)
    1970: $1,000 = $6,000 in 2013 (multiply by 6.0)
    1980: $1,000 = $2,800 in 2013 (multiply by 2.8)
    1990: $1,000 = $1,800 in 2013 (multiply by 1.8)
    2000: $1,000 = $1,400 in 2013 (multiply by 1.4)
    What $1,000 Now Was Worth Then
    A sum of $1,000 in 2013 had the same buying power as about $43 in 1840. To convert between those years,
