Ask HN: Need help finding a post

3 pointsby tarmacvor 18 Jahren6 comments

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?
