episode Dutch Rise and Fall, American Rise and Fall--Part 1 cover

Dutch Rise and Fall, American Rise and Fall--Part 1

Why is the rise and the decline of the USA so much like the rise and the decline of the Dutch Republic in the 1600s? The 1900s will probably always be remembered by historians as the American Century. But the 1600s was the Dutch Century. Both of these nations had their exceptional rises, their amazing zeniths, and then their declines. But historians have noticed that the details and particulars of both the rise and the decline phases are eerily similar. The symptoms of decline that we're experiencing right now--rising inequality, stagnant wages, polarization, elite infighting--are only "new" to us if we don't study history. But if we do study the trends, maybe learn more about the cycle we're stuck in. This episode is about the rise of the sunnier more optimistic rising periods of both the Dutch and the American Century. The next episode will be about the darker phase: the decline.

episode What Explains China's Rise, Fall, and Rise Again? cover

What Explains China's Rise, Fall, and Rise Again?

Check out the YouTube video here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlTBjsYuZWI]. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlTBjsYuZWI In this series, we're taking a big step back in order to look at education as a force in the big picture of humanity. We're investigating the stories of the civilizations that have spent time in the last 1,000 years as the most educated civilization on the planet--China, Italy, Netherlands, Great Britain, and the USA. They were the ones who pushed the education needle forward. 1,000 years ago, the most literate civilization on planet Earth was China. But the Chinese educated class then deliberately stagnated its education system for a very long time. Understanding China's ups and downs... and ups can help to shed some light on the powerful forces of educational expansion and educational stagnation in completely different times and places. This first episode can shed light on what's at stake when we consider how aggressive to be about our own educational progress.

episode Did Americans Really Stop Getting Smarter? cover

Did Americans Really Stop Getting Smarter?

This episode is also on youtube. You can view that video at this link: https://youtu.be/B8B7pdyLWvk [https://youtu.be/B8B7pdyLWvk] Since 1980, have Americans been getting more educated, less educated, or just holding steady? How would you even answer that question? Literacy and math test scores? Trends in our rising or falling IQ scores? The number of years average Americans are spending in school. Changes in our number of high school and college graduates? Actually, in this episode, we’re going to look at all of that at more. Educational progress in the USA–or lack thereof–matters a lot to the theme of this mini-series of episodes, in which we’re looking at all the nations that, like the USA, became the most educated civilization in the world at some point in the last 1,000 years. We need to look at the science. Did Americans really stop getting smarter?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
