Learning from history is something Americans have never been good at but need to pay attention to. Some of the weekly topics in this course will be: imperial overstretch as described by Paul Kennedy. Mayan collapse from overtaxing their environment. Huey Long as a warning from American populism; pandemics and their effect; walls as porous barriers; institutional crumbling; the democracy of the Iroquois confederation and the Madison-Jefferson debate over minority vs. majority rule and China’s view of itself as the center of the world.
