Bernie Sanders believes that FREE university education a “right, not a privilege.” His fellow Bolshevik, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also believes that tuition-free university “forms the basis of human dignity” and should be provided for free by any “moral society.” They aren’t alone in holding these beliefs. A recent survey conducted by
In the year 1841, people across countless sleepy villages in Ireland were participating in the most advanced census that had ever been conducted in European history. The whole of Ireland was still under the control of the United Kingdom at that point, and parliament had passed the “Population Act” the
Last week we started a new feature in Notes from the Field– a Friday roll-up of bizarre, often overlooked stories that my team and I think are worth following with great interest. Based on the positive feedback we received from last week’s article, we thought we’d continue the trend. So
On the evening of March 25 in the year 1300, Italian poet Dante Alighieri stepped through the gates of Hell, passing beneath an overhead inscription that read “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” Dante summoned all of his courage and proceeded, plunging deeper into the despair of hell. This
Starting in 2021, Americans will require permission to visit Europe… technically the 26 borderless countries within Europe’s Schengen area.

I’ll get back to that in a minute… Following the Great Financial Crisis in 2008, central banks printed
Here’s when you know that you’ve made it into popular culture… It’s when you get credit for a great quote, but no one really knows who said it first. If there’s any doubt, people’s go-to list is usually either Albert Einstein, Mark Twain or the former New York Yankees catcher,
Here’s an economics lesson you won’t get in college. What happened to college tuition costs after the federal government started handing out student loan aid in 1965? For a typical loan, you need collateral… i.e. the bank takes your house if you don’t pay the mortgage. But with government-backed student

By the year 1380, the Hundred Years’ War between England and France had already been raging for decades. And the war wasn’t going very well for England. France had managed to recapture most of the territories they had lost early in the war; meanwhile French naval fleets were ravaging the
