thomas: exactly. the stock market, there been joke stock companies for 150 years or more at that point. but up until the 1680s or so, there were very few shares there were almost never traded. maybe an african company which was a slave company. they were in fact companies that have shares that in theory can move but they very rarely did . david: intended to be bought and sold by a very small group of people right . i. thomas: in the 1680s, the started to change. and very rapidly. a lot of new companies formed all kinds of things. mining companies, insurance companies. they called this, the 1690s, roughly 21750, call the financial revolution. the term amongst historians of the period in one of the arguments in the book is understanding this revolution is simply a part of the scientific revolution. a large intellectual transformation going on. and the people did not separate. and tomorrow i'll be a financial revolutionist. edmund talley was working on the math of the life insurance. mood newton himself

thomas: to some extent. is in some ways quite --ilar to imagine civil war a great book about popular literature in the war. it largely treats the popular literature during the war as a common production. but you see important divergences. for example, we saw the women's monument in south carolina. the theme of women's roles in the war is much more widely developed in the south and in the north. there are some interesting northern monuments for women, topic the south is a much broader field for and shapes the national narrative to a greater extent than some other areas. crossample, the red building, which is very much a civil war memorial building winds up being a monument. i do think there are some areas where it is very front, some areas where it is quite similar. that goes to a lot of things beyond what monuments or to and what they are designed for. the whole idea of the county courthouse square, the monument in the county courthouse square is different in the south and the north. the symbolism of putting

he started as a team—mate for geraint thomas. hart's reward for three weeks of hard riding. but what finished in milan today, started on the mall in london in 2010. when dave brailsford launched a british road cycling team built around olympic track stars like bradley wiggins, a 14—year—old geoghegan hart bunked off school to ride with them. ten years later, what was team sky is now the ineos grenadiers... and geoghegan hart was starting the 21st and final stage of italy's grand tour in second place. he just needed to beat australia's jai hindley, the man in the leader's pinkjersey, in the final ten—mile time trial.the 25—year—old from east london had stepped up after his team leader geraint thomas crashed out on stage 3. racing his way into contetion, picking up two stage wins and here he was, outpacing the man in the maglia rosa tojoin wiggins, thomas, chris froome and simon yates in the history books, the five british riders who've won cycling's grand tours. so how does it feel? bizarre, to be honest. yeah. not in my wildest d

thomas, you began serving in the late sixties? bill: i first took my seat in that ancient body in the spring of 1769. but i must tell you, your excellency, you were already a legend within my family when i was a young boy. my father, colonel peter jefferson, spoke very highly of you. he, as you well know, was a surveyor, commissioned by the royal authority. surveying far the western lands of virginia and beyond. he knew you well when you were a young major. and i believe you both sat together in the virginia house of burgesses, just before he passed away. he passed away in 1757. when i came to the house of burgesses 12 years later, i had already known of you. i attended the college in williamsburg, william and mary, reading law with george and practicing law in williamsburg. in fact, general, i do not know whether you remember, but when i was a young man of 25 years of age, i had already become a devotee of theater. and i never missed an opportunity when the virginia company would be performing in williamsburg at that old theater

one is a letter that jefferson writes to a man named thomas law. there is not usually a lot of humor in his letters, but this particular letter, a man named thomas who invited him to subscribe to a very expensive book is to come out. he responds by saying he has just turned 69 and is probably only going to live seven more years. the threat of what he describes as 7000 volumes. he may be only has time to read 1000 more airing his lifetime -- during his lifetime and so, he would probably leave many of those long before he would read this letter. anyway, he is probably going to dive before he would read this letter from the sky. it is a description of the geography of europe. in 1811, jefferson is saying, there is not much point in my reading of the geography of europe right now because napoleon keeps changing the borders and shuffling the deck all over again. and dealing apnea hands. until he is dead, he says there is not much point in my buying a book that is not much worth the room it takes up. i am going to leave you younger men to really read the

thomas costerg is joining us. let me cut to the chase.t is simply, does all this discussion matter? a lot of people dismiss it. i am from the old school. no, i will not. does this burgeoning deficit matter? thomas: there is definitely a political element to that. we know donald trump did promise to cut the deficit. we are seeing is reaching record highs. from that angle, it's important. i don't think it is really a factor for the u.s. dollar. it is much more driven by global growth and the difference between global growth and u.s. growth, as well as the differential interest rates. what we are seeing is the fed is not cutting rates to zero. all countries are more or less at zero right now. that is probably a headwind to the dollar going forward. lisa: do you think the market right now is overpricing or underpricing the u.s. recovery? thomas: well, it is hard to say. i think the recovery is more fragile than widely thought. it depends on fiscal stimulus. what you are seeing is the data seems to be ebbing. if you look at jobless claims, spe

thomas thank you very much we're coming to roughly coming to the end of all special coverage before we do i'd like to go to nina. said that the memory and heritage of 989 was never more important than today what do you what do you think about that. poll i think is right and i think when you look at what's happening behind thomas barrow in the middle of the anti corona measures the demonstrations against corona measures of course they're not organized by east german you know so he means we need to think that we have to keep this peaceful spirit that we need to fight for democracy and that here in germany we've experienced this process that it is possible that people do want to more proceed because it simply is a system that gives people freedom and a good standard of living and that it is important to keep that spirit alive today more than ever and it is not just the story of between west because there are many groups inside germany that are beginning to question the validity of democracy. thank you very much and i believe we are wrapping up. paschal coverage of this 30th anniversary of

thomas: good evening. i am thomas justin dodd, thomas dot's grandson. spent a fair amount of time reflecting on this book, the stories that were told on the lessons to be learned. i was struck by the humanness of the story, how it wraps a story of love with a story of ambition, within the context of one of the truly landmark events of the 20th century, an event that embodied justice over tyranny. i chose a i hope embodies these qualities. nuremberg, germany, june 1, 946. grace, my dearest, it is now but not :00 p.m. and i am here with you. i prefer to pass my time with you rather than reading or doing anything. you are so much on my mind at all times. i had a nice letter from judge wine thanking me for a picture i sent. he said he showed it to judge jennings, who showed interest but made no comment. wind said this is the greatest trial in history and while it seems long now, in a few years i would look back with great satisfaction. by the way, be sure to read walter lipman's article in the ladies home journal for june. it is a good thing and give you so

thomas: i think the answer to that is to be determined. you may think that there is a rally around, everybody coming and giving sympathy to the president, giving his best, the president using that opportunity to suggest that it is time for all americans to defeat this virus together. but at the same time his own record on covid-19, the mismanagement, the missteps, the flat-footed response from the outset, i think it has complicated that narrative. the fact that he has been so insistent on belittling the virus, making light of it, making fun of those who wear masks not necessarily taking social distancing and other safety protocols seriously at his rallies, all of that makes it more complicated. i think we will see how the polls respond, but is just not there at the moment. francine: what are the american people asking themselves? is there a general worry that if the president cannot even keep himself safe how he can keep the american people safe? thomas: that is certainly a legitimate question. donald trump has had access to daily testing.

diffuse thomas sparrow is following this story for us today good day to you thomas german health officials warning that this virus at this point could become uncontrollable what are the latest infection numbers dahmus well that's only a possibility officials have also stated that they hope this will not be the case that they hope germany will certainly keep numbers low or at least reduce the number of infections as we're seeing now now we're seeing over 4000 cases a day which is certainly a very concerning figure that's something that officials have also stressed and the goal is to make sure that that can be reduced and that can be reduced also in the coming months the colder months of the year when it is expected the numbers could rise so on the one hand obviously officials are concerned on the other hand they're also stressing that germany compared to other european countries has fared considerably well thomas the capital berlin the main financial center frankfurt they both have been declared hotspots what does that mean for the people living there and for people traveling to those citie
