For example, in Classic: Cliffhangers two types of blankets are given: Blanket, wool ($2) and Blanket, flannel ($0.35) both TL6. From the 'tech' books: *Blanket (TL1). For one person: $20 (Low Tech 33) *Blanket (TL1) (...) $25 (Low Tech 134) *Blanket, Emergency (TL7) (...) $5 (High Tech 57) Not only does the price of this item vary depending on type within a TL but between TLs.

Re: Deindustrialized World3 22nd Century
Hmm, interesting. I really don't know what's going on there, then.
"Blanket, Emergency" looked like a "space blanket", not a normal blanket - look at the weight. Is that not the case? The actual "Blanket" in the GCS High-Tech list, listed as High-Tech page 56, is $20, the same as one of the Low-Tech ones. Not sure what's going on with Classic: Cliffhangers, though. Maybe 3e did prices differently.

Prices in TLs yet-to-come were in theoretical units where prices were mostly like TL7 but inflation had been done away with.

*"Prices are always listed in $, for convenience – but $ can stand for dollar, credit, silver piece, or whatever is appropriate." Classic Basic Set 3e pg 71 *"All prices in GURPS (whatever the game world) are indicated by a dollar sign – $ – just to make it easy on the writers and typesetters. GMs are welcome to translate this to credits, copper farthings, Martian foomphra or whatever they feel is appropriate to the adventure" Classic Basic Set 3e pg 189 Actually inflation hasn't been done away as demonstrated how Paut's price increases with TL just like starting wealth does. Heck, Industrial Enchantment is linked to this TL starting wealth.

My comment about inflation was only to indicate that futuristic TLs used a $15,000 Starting Wealth the same as TL7 as if their had been no inflation. Late 3e books started increasing Starting Wealth at higher tLs.

Steampunk 2 Steam and Shellfire has this multiply historical sources by 22 and divide GURPS $ value by 22 for the 1850-1915 period. 4e Basic Set states "In a contemporary setting, $1 is a modern U.S. dollar. In other periods, $1 equates roughly with the amount of local currency needed to buy a loaf of bread or equivalent staple – not with historical U.S. dollars." Basically this seems to be using Adam Smith's idea that "corn" (grain) in relation to labor is a better benchmark than gold silver or whatever else the setting uses. Of course if you have a magic/real high tech setting this goes pear shaped real fast.
