North and South

Showing on PBS October 8, 2009!

North and South

North and South was originally serialized by Dickens, compared the rural and aristocratic south of England with the rapidly industrializing north. It is a great, great book and movie. It was originally recommended to me by a friend as an antidote to the apparent anti-capitalism in Dickens' novels. Gaskell shows all sides sympathetically but makes clear that the higher productivity of manufacturing benefits the working class. Buy the DVD through Amazon. Play video on BBC website.

The Birth of Freedom and Victory of Reason

Drawn from Rodney Stark's great book Victory of Reason the film The Birth of Freedom is being premiered at select locations around the country this summer.

Victory of Reason looks at western economic and intellectual history from the fall of the Roman Empire. Stark argues the Roman Empire held back progress across the western world, progress which came slowly during the centuries that followed. The "dark ages" were not dark. Reason and religion played key roles in economic progress. Watch the The Birth of Freedom DVD trailer or purchase the movie from LibertyFlix.
