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 61
We go through the history of the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Marlborough defects to William of Orange.
It’s a long episode because we spend time with the philosophical question of the Fool. Is the Fool the only free agent in history? With Camie I question that perhaps our intuitions about degrees of freedom in our actions are wrong or misleading when this issue of the Fool is brought to the forefront.
