As a stellar example of creative entrepreneurship, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based small business has found an innovative way to make the characters of your favorite book jump off the page.
Litographs brings together readers and authors through a new style of printing that actually prints the words of a book on a t-shirt or tote bag.
Alexis de Tocqueville once wrote, "He who seeks freedom for anything but freedom's self is made to be a slave." Tocqueville's observation about the French Revolution sets the tone for the Human Freedom Index (HFI), a new report that offers a comprehensive measure of freedom around the world with country-by-country comparisons.
The HFI is a joint venture of the Cato Institute, Canada's Fraser Institute and the Swiss-based Liberales Institut at the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom. The report examines 152 countries and ranks them on 76 different indicators of personal and economic freedom. Though the inaugural report uses data from 2012, the authors said the report would be updated annually as new information becomes available.
