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 1807 Campaign in Poland and the eventual Treaty of Tilsit. This is the true apex of Napoleon's glory and possibly the happiest time of his life.
Also covers Junot's 1807 Campaign in Portugal. This is notable for many reasons including the fact that Portugal did not resist, such was the power of Napoleon's reputation in 1807.
