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.

We take a look at how the Napoleonic Wars broke out.
Napoleon had a different understanding of the world situation than the Addington government and the British public. We also examine the failure of Russia to mediate between the two powers.
We go into both the understanding of the British for why restating the war was a good idea, and Napoleon's of keeping the peace. In the end Napoleon would haver had to concede a commercial treaty, but he was convinced he needed to protect French industry from British competition.
And so, 12 years of war ensue.
