Kundenrezensionen
The Russian revolution changed me as a person
By the end of it I came away with a much clearer understanding of socialism and the many shades thereof. And generally, Revolutions does a great job by differentiating between the “political question” —do we have rule of law and equal rights?— And the “social question — are we going to protect citizens against exploitation and starvation, and how?” Most revolutions have only answered the political question… and globally, the social question is still yet to be answered.
Streets of Paris
Loved your streets of Paris special. Hearing an American talk about European (or in this case French) life is just great.... :D
Best History podcast
about why Revolutions always work, except for when they don’t...
