Today we will continue the series that will lead us to the philosophical background that drives our professorship today. You’ll recall in episode 70, we discussed the fallout of the German defeat in WW1 and the rise of Hitler. This all started with podcast #61, which was about western culture in general so if you are just jumping in, you’ll want to revisit those episodes as well. Today, we will examine the US fallout from WWI and how the left took the academics. At the conclusion of today’s show, you’ll be able to identify and define how the 1930s changed the American academic scene and see the issues that set the stage for the 1960s. This will then help you avoid low level political discussion and elevate your knowledge when talking to peers. As we have for the past 11 weeks, this series will help us decipher the background of the Crime of the Century.
