Barbed Wire -- A Brief History

[smstonypoint]

An interesting item from Tim Harford: 'The devil's rope': How barbed wire changed America - BBC News. As a bonus, there's a brief discussion of John Locke versus Jean-Jacques Rousseau on property rights.

I find it rather ironic that an article as American as Texas & barbed wire is being shown on a British TV channel. If I make further comments - this will have to be moved to the "Friendly Politics" thread.
