"From the time of the GunPowder Revolution around 1500 until 1700, real incomes for the bottom 60%-80% of the population in most of Western Europe fell by 50% or more. In many places, real income continued to fall until 1750, and did not recover to 1500 levels until 1850." --- James Dale Davidson & William Rees-Mogg 1997, 1999 _The Sovereign Individual_ pg295 (citing Ted Robert Gurr 1989 _Violence in America: vol2 Protest, Rebellion, Reform_ pg77) |

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.

"After the Communists took control of China in 1949, hordes of refugees from all over the country poured into the British colony of Hong Kong. Many eventually found their way to the USA. As a result of changing American immigration laws, the Chinese population of the USA almost doubled -- from 237K to 435K -- in the decade of the 1960s. Many of the new arrivals settled in the Chinatowns that most Chinese Americans had left or were leaving. In the largest Chinese-American community, in San Francisco, the population density per square mile was 3 times the citywide average in 1960 and 6 times the citywide average just 3 years later. The Chinese populations of New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago all more than doubled during the decade of the 1960s. About 20K Chinese legally entered the USA annually from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it is estimated that an equal number also entered illegally. The new immigration has been very different from the old." --- Thomas Sowell 1981 _Ethnic America: An History_ pp148-149 (citing Ivan Hubert Light & Charles Choy Wong 1975 May "Protest or Work: Dilemmas of the Tourist Industry in American Chinatowns" _American Journal of Socialistology_ pp1350, 1351; Ron Chernow 1973-06-11 "Chinatown, Their Chinatown: The Truth Behind the Facade" _New York_ pg39; Betty Lee Sung 1971, 1974 _The Story of the Chinese in the USA_ pg184) |
