“What makes a terrorist? Are the drivers primarily political or economic? Princeton economist Alan Krueger has made a great study of this question...What Makes a Terrorist lacks a question mark. That's because Krueger, marshaling persuasive statistics and analysis, comes down firmly on the side of politics, noting most terrorists are middle-class and well-educated.” WellsMadePoliticalSidesClassStudyEconomicMiddleMarkTerroristEducatedAnalysisMiddle ClassStatisticsDriversEconomistPersuasiveWell EducatedPrincetonQuestion Mark Author:Thomas P.M.

“Those who professed themselves unable to believe in the reality of human progress ought to cheer themselves up, as the students under examination had conceivably been cheered up, by a short study of the Middle Ages.

“While some multimillionaires started in poverty, most did not. A study of the origins of 303 textile, railroad and steel executives of the 1870s showed that 90 percent came from middle- or upper-class families. The Horatio Alger stories of "rags to riches" were true for a few men, but mostly a myth, and a useful myth for control.” MenStoriesWealthClassPovertyStudyMiddlePercentMythRichesExecutivesSteelRagsRailroadsUpper ClassHoratioTextilesRags To Riches Book:A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present Source: A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present
“Should an anthropologist or a sociologist be looking for a bizarre society to study, I would suggest he come to Ulster. It is one of Europe's oddest countries.

“Here is the tragedy of theology in its distilled essence: The employment of high-powered human intellect, of genius, of profoundly rigorous logical deduction—studying nothing. In the Middle Ages, the great minds capable of transforming the world did not study the world; and so, for most of a millennium, as human beings screamed in agony—decaying from starvation, eaten by leprosy and plague, dying in droves in their twenties—the men of the mind, who could have provided their earthly salvation, abandoned them for otherworldly fantasies.” MenWorldMindHumansAgeHuman BeingsFantasyStudyMiddleDyingHe ManGeniusCapableEssenceTragedyTwentiesSalvationIntellectTheologyEmploymentLogicalAbandonedAgonyPlagueMiddle AgesTransformingStarvationMillenniumGreat MindsDeductionsLeprosyTransforming The World Author:Andrew Bernstein
