A couple of points:
USD value is inflated to some extent due to might of US and being sole superpower for last 30 years.
Also, US has been exceptional economy for same reasons. So comparing with an exceptional currency may not make sense.
Basket of currency may be a better approach. Or may be Gold.
US inflation has to be chosen as you are trying to get USD returns.
Growth is better experienced (both -ve and +ve) around us rather than look for in stock statistics.
High stock returns may be complex issue to judge growth. A lot of countries in Europe and even Japan have not shown lot of growth at index level but countries have progressed and standards of living improved.
