Hanging with History
The first season focuses on the origins of the Industrial Revolution or the Great Enrichment, we go deep into history to gain enough background knowledge to actually understand the various theories of the origins of the Great Enrichment. Eventually we learn that we also need to know how the miracle was consolidated, as the many other close approaches to the Industrial Revolution failed.A kwirky style, but intellectually ambitious with the goal of understanding history well enough to understand the miracle that happened that one time. It's gonna be a long series.

Episode 10
A mad dream escapes into the world and becomes real. We know this dream as Parliament. Modus Tenendi Parlementum. Parliament achieves a secure place in the English conception of society and politics while representative bodies lose power all over Europe.
The Domesday survey reveals 9 percent of the English were slaves. William would find that deeply troubling and put an end to it. But what happened to the slaves? And what kind of life did a serf have?
We move to the deeper past and take a look at the unique way Roman Britain achieved independence from Rome.
We finish by setting the Modus Tenendi Parlementum the context of other medieval fakes, forgeries or dreams.
A Nightrider episode.
