  The Great Famine of the 14th...

  The Great Famine of the 14th century did not erupt suddenly; it was the result of a long-simmering crisis deeply rooted in environmental, agricultural, and demographic factors. Europe, by the early 1300s, was already teetering on the edge of unsustainability. For decades, the continent had experienced a population boom, pushing communities to cultivate every inch of arable land. Marginal lands—forests, wetlands, and rocky hills—were cleared to make room for crops, but the soil was thin and poorly suited for long-term farming. This overuse exhausted the land, reducing yields and straining food supplies even in stable years. 
  At the same time, Europe entered a period of climatic deterioration now known as the Little Ice Age. Beginning in the early 14th century, temperatures across the continent began to drop slightly but consistently. This seemingly minor shift had devastating effects on agriculture. Cooler, wetter summers shortened the growing season and increased rainfall, which flooded fields and rotted seeds before they could sprout. Harsh winters extended well into the spring, delaying planting and shrinking the harvest window. These erratic weather patterns culminated in a series of catastrophic crop failures between 1315 and 1317. 
  Adding to these environmental pressures was a demographic crisis. By the turn of the century, Europe’s population had grown to levels unseen in centuries. Villages were packed, and food demand had reached unprecedented highs. Yet agricultural output could not keep pace. The productivity of medieval farming methods had plateaued, and innovations were slow to arrive. The result was a fragile system stretched beyond its limits. Even a single poor harvest could lead to hunger; multiple bad years spelled disaster.

  Sludge - What Stops Us from...

  How we became so burdened by red tape and unnecessary paperwork, and why we must do better. 
   
   
   
  We've all had to fight our way through administrative sludge—filling out complicated online forms, mailing in paperwork, standing in line at the motor vehicle registry. This kind of red tape is a nuisance, but, as Cass Sunstein shows in Sludge, it can also also impair health, reduce growth, entrench poverty, and exacerbate inequality. Confronted by sludge, people just give up—and lose a promised outcome: a visa, a job, a permit, an educational opportunity, necessary medical help. In this lively and entertaining look at the terribleness of sludge, Sunstein explains what we can do to reduce it. 
   
   
   
  Because of sludge, Sunstein, explains, too many people don't receive benefits to which they are entitled. Sludge even prevents many people from exercising their constitutional rights—when, for example, barriers to voting in an election are too high. Sunstein takes listeners on a tour of the not-so-wonderful world of sludge, describes justifications for certain kinds of sludge, and proposes "Sludge Audits" as a way to measure the effects of sludge. On balance, Sunstein argues, sludge infringes on human dignity, making people feel that their time and even their lives don't matter. We must do better.
