It's hard to say if the economy is better or not. The GDP of a country is not the best measure of wealth. Let's say I have 1 dollar. I pay a person 1 dollar for a service. He performs the service. After that, he pays me 1 dollar for a service. I perform the service.
Let's say we passed back the same coin back and forth between 2 people. Let's say we passed the same 1 dollar coin a million times. It does not mean much. I think what people are obsessed with is big amount transactions, such as a one-time $10,000 payment.
I can see how a thick stack of dollar bills would look appealing.
