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.

Spycraft was one of Britain’s advantages during the 2nd hundred years war.
What were the other advantages Britain took into the end of the 2nd hundred years war? Pitt hired a number of reformers who drove through unpopular reforms in communications, shipyard construction and efficiency.
There were a number of reforms that also foundered, such as trying to remove the dockyard workers’ right of CHIPS.
We also cover the career of the naval captain/intelligence agent Phillippe D’Auvergne, who, despite his name, was a major intelligence asset for Britain.
