Paul Hermann Müller: The Swiss Chemist Who Developed DDT and Saved Millions of Lives
Our 18th Hero of Progress is Paul Hermann Müller, a 20th-century Swiss chemist who discovered the insecticide qualities of dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT). The effectiveness of DDT in killing mosquitoes, lice, fleas, and sand flies that carry malaria, typhus, the plague, and some tropical diseases, respectively, has saved millions of lives.

The Gold Standard Didn’t Create the Great Depression, the Federal Reserve Did
Today, conventional discourse leads us to believe that the Great Depression was created by a failure of laissez-faire economics—by a failure of the free market and an unregulated economy. This is the narrative that has been constructed and is now perpetuated in all classes of political science and history taught to students. Many intellectuals and economists have furthered this narrative by asserting that the gold standard was the real cause of the market failure, thus government intervention was consequently legitimate to rescue the economy. This is a myth that must be debunked before it polarizes forthcoming generations.
