Ya there are some parallels, but there are many things that don't.

For example these days we live in a borrow/lease economy. Back then the companies wanted to sell you a tractor, but today no one wants to sell you a LLM, they want to sell you a service they maintain. Also interest rates and risk was pretty high in those Years making borrowing more difficult.
