Not according to the data.

According to #SimonAbundanceIndex and Peter H. Diamandis, MD, The world is more abundant than ever. A trend that I suspect will continue.
Between 1980 and 2021, resources became 448.5% more abundant worldwide.
For the average person, they became 208% more abundant. #SimonAbundanceIndex

Between 1980 and 2019, the average time price of 50 basic commodities fell by 74.2%.
That means the amount of work required to buy one unit in our basket of 50 commodities in 1980 could buy 3.87 units in 2019.
