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 50
Diggers were early communists and Ranters feel like hippies. Do it in the road. It’s all good because it’s all god.
Quakers and Baptists. These were the big winners. The Quakers seemed to attract supermen to their cause, and they are simply given the hugest colonial land grant in America. Their influence is still with us today.
Raoul Sunset gives us a personal reminiscence of a Digger commune in the Haight. Coyotes?
