Summary

In this crazy time we’re living in, what’s the most accurate historical parallel? 1968? The 1420s? UMass Boston historian and all-around smart dude Vincent Cannato returns to the show for the second time to remind us of the scary-but-true reality: we are actually living in an unprecedented era. As the ancient faux-Chinese curse says, “May you live in interesting times.” Show Notes: -Vin’s books -Just in case you’d like to get admitted to the Vatican archives -Blue check-mark Twitter in an uproar over a Tom Cotton op-ed -Jonah’s review of A Return to Modesty -The Power Broker by Robert Caro -The Confucius Institute, quite literally on the dole of their Chinese paymasters -If you have a subscription, read the wonderfully-named Francois Furstenburg in the Chronicle -Is Bill Barr right that history is written by the winners? -Ronald Radosh’s Prophets on the Right
