That statement was made by Ben Franklin, who wasn’t ever President of the United States, though many people seem to think he was. He did, however, become Postmaster General, so that’s something. Anyway, Ben brings us to today’s post about Tom Standage’s A History of the World in Six Glasses. This book has been on…
