One of the big puzzles in history is why the first demographic transition began in France, as early as 1789.

With Paula Gobbi and Marc Goñi, we show that a key driver was the French Revolution and its inheritance reforms.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life.

A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation.

No more political violence.
