Adjusted for Inflation is a perfectly valid number if it's based on the original dollars vs today's value of that same number of dollars. It's the only rational way to compare dollar amounts outside the range of just a few years. Adjusted for Inflation simply means you calculate the Present Value (PV) of the dollars from an earlier period, based on the known inflation of those dollars between that time & now. Depending on how you look at it, it's the Future Value (FV) of those dollars, looking forward to today, or the PV, looking back from now to then. It can be somewhat 'subjective if you're not using a standardized, accepted, inflation value, from a reliable, known, authoritative source. Many government sources are unreliable as they are highly politicized & change from administration to administration. Also, calculating worldwide earnings becomes very complex, given the variety of monetary systems. Still, I don't see it as invalid, on its face. It's interesting & the only fair basis for real comparison I can think of, as simple dollar amounts become meaningless, the farther apart they become, over time.
