History nitpick (4.00 / 7)

history's most enduring military alliance.

Ummm, sure...

NATO: was 60 years old this April.
Delian League: 478BC-404BC, that's 74 years.
Peloponnesian League: c. 550BC-366BC, that's ~180 years.

Re: Nah... (4.00 / 2)

The Economic Cycle is defined from trough to peak, right? The peak-to-through part of the cycle is an outlier.
