We look at economic and social progress and some of its obstacles, mainly self-inflicted obstacles.  A Joseph Ardennes episode.  We discuss new industries and coal.  Newcastle is the new Peru.  The limited rights of the poor within a context where even small farmers had a lot of rights under common law, but the necessity of paying for lawyers meant that these rights were not always available.  The Cocaine affair is covered, which leads to a depression arising from reckless government policy.  We go with Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione into the Forest of Dean, where Reverend Simon Peter preaches the equality of man.
