Sinopse
Unlocked means I'm making a members-only episode available to everyone. Enjoy!Episode DescriptionCan history explain the future? If not, it sure looks similar.Historian Benjamin Hett painstakingly outlines Hitler's rise to power and the conditions that led to the fall of the Weimar Republic, including the rise of globalization, post-World War One myths and the failure of existing norms and political parties.The conditions chronicled by Hett appear eerily similar to our current political climate. Hett offers his insight if 2018 is our generation's 1920s, and what we can do about it. And yes, Trump is discussed.Show Notes: Death of Democracy: Hitler's Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic = purchaseNew York Times Book Review of Death of Democracy
