Hi Friend,
This week’s most-watched video was our livestream of a conversation with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Democracy Under Surveillance: A Conversation with Edward Snowden
Snowden is a controversial figure — a traitor to some and a hero to others. His discussion with retired Army Colonel (and adjunct professor) Lawrence B. Wilkerson raised important issues about global surveillance programs, the role of intelligence in national security, and the intricate balance between privacy, security, and individual rights in an increasingly technology-driven age.
Over 400 students joined us at The College of William & Mary for the session and we had over 300,000 viewers on Facebook.
US Economic History 3 — National Banks’ Rise and Fall
Our latest video with Prof. Brian Domitrovic tells the story of the first two national banks of the United States. Presidents, bankers, and civil servants struggled with questions of corruption, economic freedom, and centralized power.
This series, created in partnership with the Bill of Rights Institute, aims to be a resource for students studying for US History exams and to provide a survey of different (and sometimes opposing) viewpoints on key episodes in U.S. economic history.
Dan Carlin — What All of History Has in Common
Does history repeat itself? Dan Carlin, the “political Martian,” says history can’t teach us what to do next, but it can teach us who we are. Thanks for watching,
