Ask HN: Need help finding a post

Posted by tarmac on Tuesday January 20, 2009 @03:32PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Somebody posted a link to a presentation made by a guy who's name sounds hispanic.

It dealt with the rise and fall of countries across many years in time. It also dealt with the US and Brazil being outliers in the aspect that most countries "contract" after passing their revolutionary state.

I searched and searched using google site search but no dice. Does anyone remember this post?
