A golden age is an especially prosperous or transformative period. It's often defined in retrospect, by comparing to less productive times. But would the people living during a golden age feel it?

</div>
<div>

And more intriguingly: are we in a golden age right now? This, of course, depends on the <em>we</em>. Is Austin undergoing a golden age? The United States? Other countries? The Western world? All of humanity? In all these cases, what hints are there to say that we are or are not in a golden age?
