“A Nation of Counterfeiters”
Capitalists, Con Men, and the Making of the United States

~ Stephen Mihm
~ Professor in the History department
~ University of Georgia

“the rise of a country defined by a freewheeling brand of capitalism over which the federal government exercised little control”

the same get-rich-quick spirit that lives on in the speculative bubbles and confidence games of the twenty-first century.

“A specter is haunting university history departments: the specter of capitalism.”

    The insane rantings from the left are getting worse simply because they're beginning to realize Trump might just win again.

    People who say repukes also molest barnyard animals and sexually assault women, like Rapist Joe Biden and Rapist Bill Clinton. Obama was like Falwell and just like to watch Michelle get boned by teens.

    Hello, TUSCL people. My name is TB3345 and my role here is to identify general douchebaggery to those (and especially newcomers or lurkers) that may be reading these forums.

    #SYSTEM WARNING#

    Yabba-Jabba

    Yabba-Jabba is a relentless, mean-spirited troll who has had numerous, previous accounts over the years including Trucidos & VH_Kicks, both of which were removed and banned from this anything-goes forum due to an inordinate abundance of name calling and harassment. As this is an uncensored, free-speech forum, banning only occurs in the most extreme of cases and has only occured to 0.00015% of members so it takes a ‘special’ kind of person to warrant banishment. Currently he (or she) may also be using the Dems_Rule alias as well. He (or she) appears mentally unstable and posts mainly political diatribe; these posts are not rational, coherent viewpoints, but merely posts attempting to trigger others for his (or her) own self-amusement. This person is also notorious for upvoting his (or her) own posts. TB3345 suggests not responding to anything this individual says and using the ignore feature. For those unaware of this feature, all one has to do is click the little circle with the slash through it and you may continue to enjoyably peruse the forum without the inane ramblings of this member.

    Thank you in advance for using TUSCL.
