when they become political in the sense that we now would recognize you if you look at the american revolution for example in seven hundred seventy two would anybody say there was a revolution going on no i mean the thing died in seven hundred seventy eight with the boston massacre and it didn't get reconstituted real seven hundred seventy three the abolitionists actually made the revolution the second american revolution we call the civil war we construction you know there had to be a translation from abolitionism to political anti-slavery we're not at that stage yet we're still in a stage of it seems to me anyway intellectual inquiry in iraq. the education that's where we should be we don't know the future yet and we're going to have to work it out but eventually yes we're going to have to do something political now it's seems to be completely pointless live in france is a kind of begs the question then what do you do where do you go i mean i said i'm very sympathetic to you but i mean i don't see how you get from point a to point b. and let alone get from a to z. well first you're treating

but i think that the difference to your really looking at is that it was moving towards the american revolution or the abolition or even the labor movement those represented fundamentally american ideals and if there's something that that sort of person if i was that the. doctor what's wrong with me it's generally the idea that a government in the state in some way will be able to transform our society reduce inequality in addition we can really be actively join in the political process to reduce inequality and i don't think that's true most americans believe mr forty percent of total rising as a result of this francisco head well this movement is distinct it's actually from the movements of the tranny of the century because it's very skeptical of government that's what it's emphasis on the general assembly on reaching consensus. total democracy reflects free flights it's disappointment that skepticism of the way government has functioned in the twentieth and twenty first century things that strike brilliant or israel is an instrument of capital as the james guy jumping can i can i sleep in her

well i think even if you called it a good story of the american revolution but it was some research and economic movement because you are just looking for a large part economic indicators surveillance but i think that the difference to your really looking at is that there's been sort of simmering revolution or the abolition or even the labor movement those represented fundamentally american ideals and if there's something that sort of personifies to the. wall street movement it's generally the idea that government in the state in some way will be able to transform our society reduce inequality there's no you can really be actively join in in a political process to reduce inequality and i don't think that's most americans believe misery forty percent of total are on the rise or do as a result of this francis go ahead well this movement is distinct it's actually from the movements of the twentieth century because it's very skeptical of government that's what it's emphasis on the general assembly on reaching consensus. total democracy free flights free flights it's disappointment that skep

. >> west point traces its roots back to the american revolution. ington considered this the most important military location in america. he called it "the key to the continent." >> both the british and the americans knew that whoever controlled the hudson river would probably win the war. the best way to move a lot of people -- men, soldiers, supplies, provisions -- was by water, using ships and boats. so controlling the river networks in america was an important aspect in the war. >> massive fortifications were built and crammed with continental soldiers. >> show us your bayonets! >> all: huzzah! bayonets! >> to keep the british from traveling upriver and dividing the colonies, a giant, 100-ton chain was stretched across the hudson. these here are links from the original chain. each link weighs about 200 pounds each. >> yes, it did work. even though there was no attempts to get past the chain or to come up the river with british ships. it was deterrent to the british. >> in 1779, washington moved his headquarters to west point. it was here that ame

in paris during the american result -- during the american revolution. this is a man speaking a language she does not speak particularly well. i thought i was somehow playing with day original idea in some way. i'm not sure the answer would be, cleopatra could be anywhere. it's about the salem witch trials. i felt i'm back home in some way. >> and when will that be? >> many years i am afraid. this is someone in the future still. i'm a couple months into the research. >> de still live between canada and new york, or canada and boston? >> yes. >> but you married a canadian? >> i did. >> how long ago? >> 22 years ago. >> do you have children? >> how old are they. >> what do they think of a writer being like this? >> i think that for the most part they think i type for a living. i do not know, it is a really good question. maybe that is a good thing. i think the are grateful for the fact that i'm a negligent parents. >> do you think your father had an impact on you and in what way? >> my father never read my first book. he died right around the time of publi

shortly after the american revolution, the founding fathers saw the need for an educated and virtuous class of citizens to lead the young nation. the ink had barely dried on the constitution when john carroll founded what would eventually be known as georgetown university. but georgetown's roots go even deeper into history. it's the oldest jesuit university in the country. jesuits are known for a commitment to learning and intellectual inquiry. they've been around since saint ignatius started the society of jesus in europe back in 1540. >> he wanted a group of priests who would not be bound to a particular church or parish or town. he wanted to start a religious order of men who would go anywhere where the needs of the world were greatest. >> so what does it mean to be a catholic and jesuit university? >> to be a catholic and jesuit university means to be committed to academic excellence, to be committed to exploring one's faith across different faith traditions - catholic, protestant, jewish, muslim, orthodox christian, or people who may be struggling to find their faith. >> while mo

i sort of knew about the revolution but like most americans they didn't know about that and there was so much research and so little talking to other humans but no i think it is going to be about a year now. any time to think about the next theme of the book is going to be, but also line just tired. >> long book tour? >> the book tour ended up being fund. i usually hate the first two weeks but if they make me get up early that is the only thing i hate about it. but then i am not smart her by going to california and she isn't going to get that for a cut in the morning and i stay on the east coast time so it's like i'm sleeping in. >> into sentences what is demonic about? >> demonic is about the mentality and how it is a part of liberalism beginning with the french revolution, the american revolution which i contrast, and

revolution. now, most americans took a very hopeful view of the french revolution when it began, including washington. after the bastille fell, the marquee delafayette sent washington one of the keys. it is still in mt. vernon, still displayed in mt. vernon, and the man who brought it over was thomas payne. he was another hero, of course, in the american revolution, the author author of "common sense" and "the american crisis." and payne wrote a letter to washington saying that having a share in two revolutions is a living of some purpose. we have washington, lafayette, and payne all linked around this symbol, the key to the bastille, and at that moment, it looks as if france will go through an experience similar to the one we had. and americans were happy to see this happen. we had warm feelings towards france. they'd helped us out, helped us win our freedom. perhaps they could enjoy the same blessing that we had secured. gouverneur morris, who's on the spot, is almost the only american i know of who never for a moment thought that it could work. he knew many of the players. he had met lafayette in

the man who wrote the declaration of independence sparking the first american revolution thomas jefferson wrote repeatedly about the need for generational revolutions he said no society can make a perpetual constitution or even a perpetual law the earth belongs to the living generation they manage it and consequently may govern as they please its every constitution in every law it naturally expires at the end of thirty four years he said naturally he's talking about as in a law of nature so after those thirty four years roughly the span of time that it takes for one group in power to get old and step down a new generation comes to power and governs as it sees fit and then a revolution occurs but jefferson also wrote about what happens if these sorts of revolutions these periodic transformations are stopped or blocked he said if this avenue be shut to call of sufferance it will make itself heard through that a force and we shall go on as other nations are doing in the endless circle of oppression rebellion reformation and oppression rebellion reformation again and so on forever. barack oba

rebooted itself a number of times each time out of collapse the the first arguably being the american revolution and then the civil war about eighty years later we had a collapse and a reboot a restarting of our society and then in the nineteen late one nine hundred twenty s. about eighty years later another collapse in a kind of reboot of our society and here we are eighty years later on the in the middle of a collapse it looks like to me don't you think it's possible that the rate that that the reboot coming out of this collapse might move in the direction that you were writing about earlier and and i'm curious well it what you think you know absolutely i can now that i know it's a good question but the trouble is that it's never rebooted in the interaction in other words if you go to the war of independence and you talk about the reboot. it was it emerged from the war of independence as really a very every shift society and people like washington wrote you know john adams wrote in his diary i've never seen such an ever issues people in my life and benjamin rush said this country is going to d

we've seen major economic crash is about every eighty years some say leading to the american revolution then a years later the civil war than eighty years later war two and then eighty years later today is there a normal business cycle like graham propose for example that includes a depression every eighty years or so there is there is a normal business cycle if you fluctuations are going on the thing is that's certainly part of the natural cycle of capitalism this is not that this is a minsky peak because what we have in those foxholes is that fluctuating sometimes rausing a bit but fluctuating not not going down and then continuing to go down you have a depression when you get an excessive caused by ponzi financed speculation and then de lay bridging off of that which means you just have a continuous process of being reduced that's only happened in depressions the last one being the not in thirty's one look at the debt to g.d.p. ratio in america going back to nine and twenty looking at it now this is not a normal saw at all this isn't a minsky depression so this is the full blow out s

and i'm sad to say this i come from over three hundred years of americans my favorite part of american revolution a very very loyal america. but if you really have to question whether we're truly living in a democracy anymore if you have a country where you get corporations and have the rights of individuals with no responsibilities you know they have almost unfettered realty to finance campaigns or talk with your shows and at the same time we've got a population that really doesn't understand a lot about what's going on in our financial institutions or our foreign policy the things that talk about in my books about the way we deal with other countries and then you really have to question is this truly a democracy because a democracy is dependent on having human form electorate and an electorate that has access to its elected officials not just corporations having access to what you bring up a really good point i want to get a little bit into occupy wall street but person i want to stick to kind of the role of corporations and the role of c.e.o.'s because you talk about something really interesti

i sort of knew about the revolution like most americans i didn't know a lot about it and it was just so much research and little talking to other humans. but no, and it's great to be about a year now. to think about what the theme of the book is going to be but also tired. >> long book tour? >> the book tour in the up being fun. i usually hate the first two weeks but as my publisher publicist bixby get up early that is the only thing i hate about it but then on and outsmart her by giving to california and she's not going to get me about four in the morning and i still on the east coast time so it's like i'm sleeping in. >> in two sentences what is demonic about? >> it is about the mentality and what is a part of liberalism beginning with the french revolution, the american revolution and explaining to hundred years of the history of liberalism, how they rely on mama's and what you see occupy wall street. it's consistent with i talked about in this book. >> chris christi has endorsed mitt romney.
