  1. AHC/PC/WI: Prevent Birthrates From Collapsing in Europe, Japan and Korea Post-WWII

    The low Birthrate are due the higher education of women, better birth control, and more oppurtunities in the work force. I don't see how one can reduce these trends that lead to lower birth rates at all post ww2, barring massive wars and catastrophes.

  2. Which are the PoDs that could affecting population growth?

    The status of women is pretty much the cause in general. Monetary Incentives generally don't work here. More education/less is directly tied to the status of women, and so is culture. Basically more educated and free women, who have acess to birth control will have less babies than less...

  3. Which are the PoDs that could affecting population growth?

    The most important reason why population growth in the west has fallen is the increased status of women. If you want to mess around with the world population, you must keep this in mind.

  4. Most dominant European colonial empire

    If we are going to by first lanuage spoken, Spanish actually leads over English and French.

  5. AHC/WI?: "Hillarycare" Passes

    No, I think they had bad timing, and honestly could have passed something like it, if a bit watered down, if they hadn't blundered so badly.

  6. AHC/WI?: "Hillarycare" Passes

    Enshrining an employer mandate is about the worst option for health care you can choose if you want costs to go down. This would increase the cost of health care badly. The effects wouldn't be good Having a government run health care system would probably be better this.

  7. Jekyll Island Conference Exposed in 1910

    I'd half way expect the creation of another central bank soon. The US banking sector was a mess. The lack of branch banking created an overly fragile banking system. On top of that, banks could not issue enough currency. All currency had to be backed up by US debt (courtesy of a civil war...

  8. Ahc wiGreater East Asia Co Prosperity no war

    In 1920 there was a sharp recession. You start doing your policy then, you start a depression in the 1920s. Honestly the 1920s had pretty good monetary policy in between the post war recession and the death of benjamin Strong.

  9. Ahc wiGreater East Asia Co Prosperity no war

    thats actually what happened. In 1928, we started the contractionary monetary policy which honestly worstened the great depression. That view of the Great Depression is very austrian and honestly completely incorrect. We would have wanted them to have continued Benjamin Strong's more...

  10. AHC: Improve Herbert Hoover time as President

    The most important part of Hoover becoming president was probably his humanitarian efforts in Belgium and the rest of Europe. That man was very competent at delivering necessary food. As long as this happens, he would become incredibly popular and could easily become president.

  11. AHC: Improve Herbert Hoover time as President

    It certainly wouldn't have been as bad. the Fed had been acting very tightly since 1928 after Benjamin died. Avoiding this initial tightness would lessen the severity of the initial problems, which would lessen the amount of monetary stimulus he would have had to do. Honestly, though you...

  12. AHC: Improve Herbert Hoover time as President

    I think that merely having Benjamin Strong not die would have simply done it. Benjamin Strong probably wouldn't have tightened Fed Reserve policy which really caused the depression. Avoid, that and he probably would have had the mostly boring presidency, and have been considered great for...

  13. AHC: Improve Herbert Hoover time as President

    To be honest, FDR's programs mostly hurt. The public works programs were miniscule. The NRA raised business costs by over 40% in a recession. He did do the dollar devaluation which should have ended the recesision in 1934-35 except for him sabotaging his own efforts.

  14. WI: LDS Church lifts priesthood ban in 1969?

    Do you think this growth will continue though? How much of it is because of the fact that Africans are probably less aware of the historical discrimination by the LDS church?

  15. WI: Law is a part of primary and secondary school curriculum

    You don't. Most people don't have to use much math at all. They will have to use a lot of arithmetic, maybe some algebra and geometry. However, math is useful in the sense that it is extremely logical. Exposing a person to some basic math like calculus is good. There is a reason for...

  16. WI: Law is a part of primary and secondary school curriculum

    In the US at least, every employer has to post a poster written in plain english concerning the legal rights of every employee. This has all the information they need to know and is readily available to every employee. It also costs much less and probably provides more information that would...

  17. WI: Law is a part of primary and secondary school curriculum

    Why is law vital for poor families? In general, everyone who breaks the law and gets arrested understands what they did was illegal. People on an individual level need to understand law to understand whether or not something is illegal or not. Just because you say it is important doesn't...

  18. WI: Law is a part of primary and secondary school curriculum

    Anyway, I just don't think there would be that much of a difference if people had a legal education in primary schools. If you look at how much people already forget of math, science, and history that was taught to them, its clear that most people honestly don't remember what is taught to them...

  19. WI: Law is a part of primary and secondary school curriculum

    Art and Music become more voluntary as a child gets older throughout the system. And they are farily cut already compared to the other subjects. Geography is already a part of history and not a seperate subject, at least where I was taught. Also, art and music have a pretty good...

  20. WI: Law is a part of primary and secondary school curriculum

    Really, are you going to sacrifice the already underfunded arts education. Or perhaps the sciences and math. Or reading. Or history. Or the physical education time that keeps kids healthy. Kids don't spend enough time already on these subjects. Resources don't come from nowhere. All...
