On June 5th, 1947, U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall delivered a speech at Harvard University that would change the course of modern history. By proposing the European Recovery Program, better known as the Marshall Plan, he addressed the dire economic conditions in post-war Europe, offering billions in aid to rebuild infrastructure and stabilize markets. This episode of Deep Dive contextualizes Marshall’s vision alongside the birth of John Maynard Keynes, the economist whose theories influenced the very financial systems Marshall sought to protect. We also trace the revolutionary steps of Pancho Villa and the modern cultural career of Mark Wahlberg, before celebrating the 1783 flight of the Montgolfier brothers' hot-air balloon in Annonay, France, which proved that human flight was more than just a dream.
