Hanging with HistoryAuthor: Harald Hansen
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. Language: en-us Genres: History Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Episode 140
Wednesday, 1 May, 2024
The Dutch Crisis of 1787, was said by Napoleon to have caused the Revolution of 1789. We cover Dutch history through the 1780’s and its effects on the infant United States and three great powers; the United Kingdom, France and Prussia. This crisis and the Nootka Sound Crisis are examples of how Europe functioned at the great power level when France was in too much disarray to be effectively involved.
