12. In January 1986, Gorbachev proposed the elimination of intermediate-range nuclear weapons in Europe and outlined a strategy for eliminating all nuclear weapons by the year 2000; this is often referred to as the January Proposal. He also began the process of withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and Mongolia on July 28, 1986. On October 11 of that year, Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan met in Reykjavik, Iceland, at Höfði to discuss reducing intermediate-range nuclear weapons in Europe. To the immense surprise of both men’s advisers, the two agreed in principle to the removal of their countries’ intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF) from Europe and to a global limit of one hundred INF missile warheads each. They also agreed in principle to eliminate all nuclear weapons in ten years (by 1996), instead of by the year 2000 as Gorbachev had originally proposed. In 1987, this would culminate in the signing of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

28. Income inequality has increased particularly in the following countries since the 1990s: China, India, and English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, and, to a lesser degree, Canada.

29. The National Institute of Mental Health’s Epidemiological Catchment Area studied a “large and representative sample of Americans from catchment areas in the U.S. and Canada” and found that people born around 1910 had a much lower chance of having experienced a “major depressive episode” in their lives than did people born after 1960. The study also showed that “each succeeding cohort in each area had a higher rate of depression than cohorts before it. There were huge differences in the rates of depression across cohorts, suggesting a roughly 10-fold increase in the risk of depression across generations.” See Ed Diener and Martin E. P. Seligman, “Beyond Money: Toward an Economy of Well-Being,” Psychological Science in the Public Interest 5, no. 1 (2004): 16.
