This question cannot be answered. "Better" is a subjective opinion based on different criteria.... one person may have had a great 80s and a dreadful 90s... but another might have found them both to be equally horrible. On top of that - what 'better' is being judged - economic prosperity, personal freedom, world poverty, famine war and pestilence..... or is it just television sit-coms we're talking about?
