I love Hanson. He is so spot on.

Read his bio. Up to the age of 30, he got his hands dirty, as a farmer I believe. THEN, he went into academia. This might explain how refreshingly common-sense he is.

I am looking for his great article on how "rich" he feels in the west, how we have actually more than the kings of yore (jump into our ever-ready chariot to go to the market and purchase an all-season cornucopia of food.)
