You do realize Trump belongs to that very same group of rich-by-inheritance that you're contrasting him with, right? If we didn't have the system of inter-generational wealth transfer that you're defending, Trump very likely

It's enough that you don't have to worry about your ability to save money. It doesn't mean you never have to think about money at all. When I moved to London I was surprised how low salaries were, even after factoring in soci

Since you mentioned a popular YouTube channel, Historia Civilis has an excellent series on the late Roman Republic, where populism plays a major role in the republic's downfall. I'm not sure I agree that populism is, by nature, op
