The Coup, the Calamity, and the Conspiracy
The battle we kicked off with the Great Barrington Declaration is hardly over. Make no mistake: it’s the ideas held in the public mind that drives this narrative of history, not ultimately industrial profits and not government power.

The Boomer Mirage
While the specific figures combine data from multiple sources, the trend is undeniable: in 1950, over half of 30-year-olds were married homeowners. By 2025, some analysts project that number as low as 13%.
