The warnings are common. The market is driven only by a handful of giant tech stocks and therefore rests on weaker foundations than markets driven by broader constituents.

Jim wrote that investors should stop thinking, “This will never last,” and think, “It will not only last, but will wait for other companies to join in.” That’s because the afterglow of the artificial intelligence boom is starting to…

But there is a related issue. I have written for years against professional historians imposing on the public, the media, politicians, and judges the political significance of certain facts and stories drawn from their own scholarship. This phenomenon is already evident in some historians. Hamilton: An American Musical (It all…
