Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
Europe's Little Anarchy uncovers the history of Neutral Moresnet: a once-forgotten space without borders, nationalism, or a recognized government. Between 1815 and 1919, this square mile of land wedged between Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany was home to thousands of people living off the grid, free of taxation and oversight. But they also had no political status, police, legal currency, proper law courts, or government presence in sectors like public health, infrastructure maintenance, or education. Meanwhile, practical control over Neutral Moresnet lay in the hands of the local industry: a for-profit, multinational mining company that, because it owned rights to the land, also held a near monopoly on the supply of high-quality zinc to the rest of the world.
Steven Press explores how the residents of Neutral Moresnet sought to improve their quality of life, appealing to Germany and Belgium to "harden" regional borders and forcibly occupy their land. Others, he reveals, pushed to found an independent microstate on the example of Monaco. By the start of the twentieth century, the populace also had to reckon with criminal elements looking to take advantage of the legal vacuum to establish a network of brothels and distilleries—sometimes with deadly consequences.
By looking closely at the people and history of Neutral Moresnet, Europe's Little Anarchy challenges the definition of what a country is, who belongs within it, and what happens when no one is truly in charge. In today's world of shifting borders and stateless zones, this forgotten experiment feels newly relevant and offers much-needed context for the current political and international landscape.

Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
