19th century
The sources use the 19th century mainly as a historical comparison for institutions, financial manias and political conflict. Adam Tooze links Rhine governance and tourism to mid-century internationalism and functionalist cooperation 1, while Robin Wigglesworth describes canal, bond and railway booms as crises that nevertheless built lasting infrastructure 3. Darius Dale offers a sharply contested interpretation of the U.S. Civil War, attributing it primarily to white men’s economic fears rather than the commonly cited explanations of freedom and slavery 2.

The stories
- ○ a voice, on the left
- ◌ a voice raising half of these
- ● a subject, on the right, under its story
- ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story
The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
