Medieval England Richer Than Many Countries Today

Per capita income in medieval England would have been about $1,000 if measured in 1990 U.S. dollars — substantially higher than in many poor countries today, according to research led by University of Warwick economist Stephen Broadberry. By the same measure, per capita income in Zaire, Burundi, and Niger is currently $249, $479, and $514, respectively.

In case you missed it, Michael Moore is failing all over the place with the rape allegations against Julian Assange. #mooreandme

“For those of you who think it’s wrong to support Julian Assange because of the sexual assault allegations he’s being held for, all I ask is that you not be naive about how the government works when it decides to go after its prey. Please — never, ever believe the “official story.” And regardless of Assange’s guilt or innocence (see the strange nature of the allegations here), this man has the right to have bail posted and to defend himself.” —Michael Moore, showing quite a bit of FAIL #mooreandme
