"_Although the global population is expected to increase for many more decades, the population growth rate is slowing rapidly._
_This is driven by a dramatic reduction in fertility rates, which measure the average number of children per woman. The global fertility rate has more than halved since the 1960s, from over 5 children per woman to 2.3._"

<strong>The United States has, by far, the highest death rate from opioids</strong>
"_In 2021, the United States had, by far, the highest death rate from opioids, with 15.4 deaths per 100,000 people each year. Second behind it was Canada, with 6.9 deaths per 100,000. Several European countries and Russia counted between 3 and 4 deaths per 100,000._"
<strong>In Need of a New Myth</strong>
"_Where do national myths originate? They do not emerge by happenstance. Rather their creation and spread are an exercise of power. Influential historical actors, from antebellum slaveholders to the moguls of Hollywood and those Slotkin calls the ‘political classes’, have attempted to develop and disseminate broadly acceptable myths to serve their own interests._"

Not a happy time for some of us....
<strong>The Ghosts of Max Weber in the Economic History of Preindustrial Europe</strong>
"_References to Weber in the literature on preindustrial Europe published by economists during the last fifty years show that the more economists have rehabilitated culture as an autonomous force of economic change, the more they have heralded Weber as a precursor of their endeavors. The casting of Weber in such terms, moreover, has gone hand in hand with a decline, rather than an increase, in conversations between economists, sociologists, historians, and other humanists and social scientists interested in the role of culture in the formation of modern economic life._"

<strong>How much of national income goes to the richest 1%?</strong>
"_You might expect these numbers to be strongly correlated to a country's level of economic development. But this isn't always the case. In the United States, for example, 1% of its population takes home 21% of national income. This is relatively high globally._"
