Fyi, modern macroeconomics is essentially a flavour of microeconomics. They call it microfoundations for macro. They share all the important formalisms like general equilibrium. Macro is just where the inadequacies of that formalism are mos

Don't forget double-entry bookkeeping on that list. But I think your claim to a direct link is quite strenuous. Both the printing press and the Magna Carta (as well as accounting) had been well established for centuries when the Indust

Many countries have something close to that, actually. I've seen this used for various eGovernmnet-type services, although the UX isn't really different from any 2FA-authenticated service. But it allows you to perform some officia

My point is that it's about political weight, and in that regard Germany is still a long shot from where it was the 19th century. Political power comes into play in two ways: one, the research being done in the US is truly excellent, b

Frankly, I find the basic premise of this paper - the explanation for US academic excellence lies in resource allocation and management - questionable. I'd be more interested in a theory of political scientists who explain it as a func

Interesting thanks. Yeah, I had smoked products down as something unusually unhealthy compared to the taste benefits. Interesting to learn about liquid smoke.

That's true, typical smoky bacon is quite processed as well, I guess that's what I don't like about it.
