I used Ipe as an alternative to TikZ package for LaTeX. Ipe is a great tool that allows some manual moving of chart's components but can also be edited through code. You can insert formulas using LaTeX typesetting. It's also much

Short answer: it's complicated. Longer answer: what you are interested in is called the “transmission mechanism”, and the reduced workforce (and also investment by businesses) is only a part of it. The main part of the transmission mec

Interesting how the 1920s seem to be an era of social management experiments everywhere, with basic things like calendar being questioned all over the world. Just a few years later after Eastman's push for a reform in the United States

I am not that familiar with the history of railroads, but I will speculate: - take the railroad as far west as possible, then a stagecoach (expensive, slow, uncomfortable). The land route was created after the Gold Rush: https://
