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.

The core of this entire messy situation was the evening of March 31st when Talleyrand and Tsar Alexander meet.
This moment that everyone could feel was decisive at the time, the Allies were all hyper aware of the importance of these few days, the core idea is that it did matter a great deal what the tsar thought and what he wanted. And there was one Frenchman he respected and trusted above all, and that was Talleyrand.
Alexander’s life experience and spiritual journey was leading him to a place where he would turn over the one big decision to Talleyrand. And Talleyrand had actually thought this question out deeply and thoroughly.
