In their seminal work, 'The History of Science and Technology', Bunch and Hellemans compile a list of the 8,583 most important innovations and inventions in the history of science and technology. Physicist Jonathan Huebner analyzed all these events along with the years in which they happened and global population at that year, and measured the rate of occurrence of these events per year per capita since the Dark Ages. Huebner found that while the total number of innovations rose in the twentieth century, the number of innovations per capita peaked in the nineteenth century. A closer look at the innovations of the pre-1914 world lends support to Huebner's data. It is no exaggeration to say that our modern world was invented in the gold standard years preceding World War I. — Saifedean Ammous
The proper role of government is exactly what John Stuart Mill said in the middle of the 19th century in "On Liberty."

It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century. — Winston Churchill
A man who has once looked with the archaeological eye will never see quite normally. He will be wounded by what other men call trifles.
