This episode of The Dig is brought to you by our listeners who support us at patreon.com

and by Verso Books, which has loads of great left-wing titles, perfect for dig listeners like you.

One that you might like is revolution, a new history, a sweeping comparative history from leading historian Donald Sassoon.

We think of revolutions in terms of fleeting events, such as the fall of the bestial

or the storming of the Winter Palace.

In reality, they take decades to burn out, if they ever do.

Revolutions takes the long view of some of the most celebrated upheavals and compares

these historical juggernauts to the many rebellions, coups, and tumults that time forgot.

As Sassoon shows in this tour de force account, revolutions usually catch revolutionaries

themselves by surprise, and the consequences are difficult to fathom find revolutions at versobbooks dot com and use code dig30 to get 30% off your purchase.

Welcome to The Dig, a podcast from Jacobin Magazine.

My name is Daniel Denver, and I'm broadcasting from Providence, Rhode Island.

This is the second and final part of my interview with legendary historian Peter Linebaugh. We cover the Luddites' machine-breaking revolt against the enclosure of handicraft production.

The central role capital punishment played in the consolidation of the

capitalist state, and the embattled legacy of the Charter of Rights, Magna Carta and the Charter

of the Forest. A quick reminder to fans of ancient English right and custom who also happened to live

in England. I'll be in London on Friday,

March 13th, hosting a party for dig listeners alongside the really, really wonderful Equator magazine.

It'll be 7 p.m. at reference point, bookshop bar and library. Info is in the show notes.

It's free, but please do RSVP.

Hope to see you listeners in London there. And then one last reminder that if you like the

dig and you do have sufficient disposable income, you should really be supporting the dig
