IN the late 19th century, New Haven and Hartford were two of the richest cities in America. No one was required to pay federal or state income, estate or gift taxes. The rapid growth of America's industrial economy after the Civil War and in the early 20th century was fueled by untaxed business profits. Connecticut was booming with manufacturing plants and jobs were plentiful. In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was adopted to permit Congress to impose an income tax. Connecticut voted against ratification.

The article examines the role of the Parsis of India in the opium trade between China and India during the 18th and 19th centuries. It examines the significant role of a non-European group in the history of drugs. The Parsi involvement in the opium trade constituted an important component in the rise of Western capital in Asia, the development of the Indian and imperial economies, and the growth of Bombay and other colonial centers. Furthermore, the article examines the ability of drugs to serve the interests of non-Europeans under imperialism, as opium provided for the economic, social, and political development of the Parsi community. The article notes an episode in the history of both a community and a drug. The Parsis constitute one of the first and arguably most significant example...

Yet the "real value" line also recalled the rhetoric of goldbugs at the close of the 19th century; they wanted to purge the nation of postwar fiat cash and eliminate fluctuations in the currency, along with America's profligate ways. Muller told me he'd derived his account of the end of the old-economy sectors from Umair Haque, a "prophet-economist," in Muller's words, who had oudined what he called "the Great Compression" at BRITE, a branding and technology conference held in New York City in March. .connections, not transactions-hardly prophecy or even economics, BRITE, TED, Davos, SXSW, Ignite: the immovable feasts of the great religio-business calendar, where dapper gents with bubbles and sparkles on their business cards exchange triumphalist ideas by day and then charge $14,000 i...
