stevenson? >> yes, exactly. there's two places where there's actionss along the coast, sort f mid war are covered, one in gallery ten which is just before the gallery we are in here, has about an eight-minute overview of the war of independence. that's sort of an animated map projected on the wall that tries to -- actually answers a couple of questions you s had that are specific questions about particular battles. i t should emphasize while a go portion of the museum of the american revolution covers the revolutionary war era, we did not set out to do a sort of encyclopedia-like treatment of every skirmish, every battle, every action. i can't imagine how much space we would have needed. so there are definitely folks that come that have a particular action that they're anxious to learn about it here and they may be disappointed. the way we tried to cover that partly is through this animation that covers the entire war from 1775 to 1783 and tries to highlight most c of the significanthi actions that took place, y

about stevenson's liberalism. >> would you say that arthur schlesinger had ability of america, that it was always getting better? >> absolutely. a notion to schlesinger, very much something that he gets from his father, arthur schlesinger, is somebody who develops the kind of notion of progressive kind of history, somebody who looks history to the idea of cycles, that america is going to go through this progressive and conservative cycle and that's something that subsequently writes book about. >> what does he think the role of the individual is in creating a more perfect america? >> well, certainly for himself this is one of the reasons why historians should participate in that process, it's not enough for arthur schlesinger to be writing book, historians has to apply in direct way by participating, so even in his own individual case, yes, he does believe in the individual and then you look at his books, i mean, the age of roosevelt, the age of jackson, very much looking at the role of the individual but also just think of the title of those books u there's a kind of a sense of a g

stevenson. >> and he'll be joining us. >> he'll be joining us shortly and he's a great historian of the revolution. >> but let me ask you how you got involved in this project and when. >> i became involved in this project five years ago, and when i learned about it i thought instantly, this is the most exciting project in the entire field of public history. to be able to create a national museum on the american revolution and yes, the revolution is preserved in many places in our country, but it's little pieces of it. it's the battlefield here, an encampment, a tavern, a home. this would be a place that would really pull all of that together and present to the american people the most exciting dramatic chapter in our nation's history. after all, if you regard our nation, our form of government, our values of equality and freedom as important, we should certainly preserve the memory of its founding. >> they also inform how we think about our nation going forward. one of the messages in our museum

flirts with the idea that maybe stevenson should have another go. he's not part of the inner-circle and one of the reasons why and what he has to confront again after kennedy's assassination is that in his heart of hearts he knows that kennedy is not a liberal in the sense that he understands it. that kennedy in many ways is a conservative president with a small fee so part of the intellectual job that he does for kennedy is almost reconfiguring him as a more progressive figure, trying to reconcile him not being a liberal with his conservative instincts and instead recasting him as a progressive kind of a president. >> let's step back because this might be surprising to some of the people listening, how would arthur have described a liberal? what does it mean to be a liberal in arthur's era? >> in some ways that's an interesting question and difficult question to answer cause schlesinger himself is constantly parsing what it means to be a liberal and i think in particular, he has this kind of sense of politics as an educational process. he likes the

joining us, thomas stevenson. you with us this morning. -- thethe central banks fit is certain to raise rates. should we be focusing on the dot plots in the forecast and how much they move those. thomas: interest rates will rise by another quarter point. essentially we will focus on the dot plots as the trajectory of rates are important. there is some uncertainty about that. if you look at the latest payrolls out of the u.s., they were relatively strong but which growth was notably weak again. this is the dilemma facing the another fed expect three quarter-point rise next year. the futures markets are assuming a bit less than that. there is an outside risk, we may see for rates. it could go either way. this is why it is the most important question at the moment for markets. fall whene do you you're looking at the curve at the end of next year? some people are looking at a flat curve. maybe 2% on the 10 year. 2% on the 30 year and about that on the two-year. does that make sense to you? thomas: i think so. we are s

tom stevenson is with fidelity international.t the headwinds for the uk economy, they have been significant. the growth rate has slowed down progressively as the year has gone by with a lot of uncertainty about brexit. and we have seen rising inflation with lots of bad headlines about the productivity gap in the uk. but the uk stock market is a pretty international market, it benefits from growth around the world and we can see that everywhere. a pretty synchronised pick—up in activity around the world. that is good news. the other good news is the pound has fallen, which means all of those company earnings from around the world are worth more when converted back into pounds. what about the us? a lot of the excitement about the us stock market is based on the tax cuts, and even as we speak i think president trump is signing into law at the moment and that really has been the generator of all this excitement and profit? that is true. but actually, the us stock market was rising a long time before the tax reforms came into effect a
