What threats motivated the populists of the 1930s? What motivates them today? Were/are any of their concerns valid? If you want better answers than "Japan jumped on board too", you must ask yourself those questions as well.

I had the same feeling, hoping to receive an epiphany, perhaps on the bevel of the gear teeth, but nope. Then I thought, ok, surely there's an insight to be gained regarding helical gears, but it was never discussed. https:/&#x2
