The Past Speaks

In my history of globalisation class, our seminar readings were designed to introduce students to the concept of Varieties of Capitalism. The readings generated a pretty good discussion. I was somewhat surprised by the fact most students said they preferred laissez-faire over greater government involvement in the economy.

In my US survey class, I gave a lecture on the Second World War. In seminar, we discussed a podcast in which historian David M. Kennedy spoke about how US society was transformed by the war.
