People need to eat, so wheat and rice and things are gonna be critical economic inputs for every country, and we need to do things, so energy/fuel is required. And if you look around you things are made of wood, steel, copper, aluminum...
According to this graph, if you need to buy a chunk of each of these commodities, a chunk that would have cost $1000 USD each in 2000, you have been poorer and less able to buy those chunks at every point in time since 2000 ish.
