We draw on 1972-2018 General Social Survey data to extend past research through the recent period when American population health has stalled or declined. Our results show that educational attainment increased thro…

Benjamin also doubts the art of storytelling among people. This paper dismantles Benjamin’s claim by showing the strong link between oral tradition and the novel, analyzing Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungr…
