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.

This covers the year 1800.
We get Napoleon's first year as First Consul, and the two campaigns that drive Austria out of the 2nd Coalition.
On the British side we get the Act of Union and the combination of the Irish and British Parliaments. Naturally, we get Catholic Emancipation as a consequence.
What? NO? we don't. Oh, that's gonna be weird.
