Apparently, as Dr oz tells us we all have to work longer and harder to pay for billionaire tax cuts, we also have to build more houses to make up for billionaires making an already adequate housing supply unaffordable

folks sneer at romantic fiction, but it’s just another fantasy that invites the reader to imagine themselves as a hero in a wonderful, emotional story that ends happily. Like a John Patterson book. It’s just “for women.”

Why start in the colonial period? Because mechanisms of incentivizing certain migrant streams and disincentivizing others are pioneered in the colonial period, carried over & continued in the early republic. Some aspects of today's US immigration law like "public charge" is form the colonial era.
The Table of Contents is up for my book. For the nerds, the chapts are named for the central argument, not the time periods. The 1st is on the colonial period, 2nd Revo War era, 3rd is Founding, 4-6 on the 19th century. Pre-order here for a March 24 delivery: global.oup.com/academic/pro...
