My book is already available in digital form. You can read the chapter abstracts here: https://t.co/FxCb3MoKQU. I would like to highlight chapter 7, which offers a new and counterintuitive explanation for the liberalization of the slave trade in 1789.

@theproof He implied that excess calories are to blame for setting the twin cycle in motion, particularly after surpassing one's fat threshold. This seems plausible, but he did not address the role of excess carb intake. Shouldn't we consider alternatives before defending a perspective?
@jjponcevazquez The more insidious problem is, of course, that school funding comes from local property taxes. That is a bad way of funding public schools and unfortunately very common in the US. I'd rather see schools funded from state tax revenue, not property taxes.
Hello historians!
