The Economic and Political History PodcastThe Economic and Political History PodcastMaking Money in the Early Middle Ages | Rory Naismith with Javier MejiaInterview with Rory Naismith, author of 'Making Money in the Early Middle Ages'Between the end of the Roman Empire in the fifth century and the economic transformations of the twelfth, coined money in western Europe was scarce and high in value, difficult for the majority of the population to make use of. And yet, as Rory Naismith shows in this illuminating study, coined money was made and used throughout early medieval Europe. It was, he argues, a powerful tool for articulating people’s place in economic and social structures and an important gauge for levels of ec...2025-03-2242 minThe Podcast BrowserThe Podcast BrowserWar and State Formation in Latin America | Luis Schenoni with Javier Mejia Podcast: The Economic and Political History PodcastEpisode: War and State Formation in Latin America | Luis Schenoni with Javier MejiaPub date: 2025-03-08Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationInterview with Luis Schenoni, author of 'Bringing War Back In.

Victory, defeat, and the state in nineteenth-century Latin America'Since Charles Tilly’s claim that “war made the state,” scholars have viewed the bellicist account of state formation through a European lens. In Europe, war drove rulers to tax, conscript, and build bureaucracies, culminating in powerful states. Yet  Latin America's  wars were thought to be too infrequent and externally financed to foster state capacity. Bringing War Back In (Cambridge University Press, 2024) shows nineteenth-century Latin America faced more wars than Europe, which shaped state development, not through mobilization alone but via the long...2025-03-0848 minThe Podcast BrowserThe Podcast BrowserPost-World War II Population Transfers | Volha Charnysh with Javier Mejia Podcast: The Economic and Political History PodcastEpisode: Post-World War II Population Transfers | Volha Charnysh with Javier MejiaPub date: 2024-12-21Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationInterview with Volha Charnysh, author of 'Uprooted.

How post-WWII Population Transfers Remade Europe' In Uprooted, Volha Charnysh offers a new perspective on the developmental impacts of mass displacement, emphasizing that integrating displaced populations can strengthen states and boost local economies. Focusing on post-WWII Poland and West Germany, Charnysh demonstrates how the disruption of social ties and the introduction of cultural diversity initially reduced social cohesion but simultaneously increased the demand for state-provided resources. This, in turn, helped build state capacity. Over time, regions with larger and more diverse migrant inflows experienced greater gains in...2024-12-221h 04The Economic and Political History PodcastThe Economic and Political History PodcastA 4000-year history of the West | Josephine Quinn with Javier MejiaInterview with Josephine Quinn, author of 'How the World Made the West: A 4000 Year History' In How the World Made the West, Josephine Quinn poses perhaps the most significant challenge ever to the “civilizational thinking” regarding the origins of Western culture—that is, the idea that civilizations arose separately and distinctly from one another. Rather, she locates the roots of the modern West in everything from the law codes of Babylon, Assyrian irrigation, and the Phoenician art of sail to Indian literature, Arabic scholarship, and the metalworking riders of the Steppe, to name just a few examples.According to Quinn...2024-12-0157 minThe Economic and Political History PodcastThe Economic and Political History PodcastThe Rise of Mass Education: Teaching us to Obey | Agustina Paglayan with Javier MejiaInterview with Agustina Paglayan, author of 'Raised to Obey: The Rise and Spread of Mass Education' Nearly every country today has universal primary education. But why did governments in the West decide to provide education to all children in the first place? In Raised to Obey, Agustina Paglayan offers an unsettling answer. The introduction of broadly accessible primary education was not mainly a response to industrialization, or fueled by democratic ideals, or even aimed at eradicating illiteracy or improving skills. It was motivated instead by elites’ fear of the masses—and the desire to turn the “savage,” “unruly,” and “morally flawed”...2024-11-1745 minThe Economic and Political History PodcastThe Economic and Political History PodcastEmpire & Sex: America's Global War on Prostitution | Eva Payne with Javier MejiaInterview with Eva Payne, author of 'Empire of Purity: The History of Americans' Global War on Prostitution' Between the 1870s and 1930s, American social reformers, working closely with the US government, transformed sexual vice into an international political and humanitarian concern. As these activists worked to eradicate prostitution and trafficking, they promoted sexual self-control for both men and women as a cornerstone of civilization and a basis of American exceptionalism. Empire of Purity traces the history of these efforts, showing how the policing and penalization of sexuality was used to justify American interventions around the world.Eva Payne de...2024-11-0252 minThe Economic and Political History PodcastThe Economic and Political History PodcastA New History of Inequality | Daniel Waldenström with Javier MejiaInterview with Daniel Waldenström, author of 'Richer and More Equal: A New History of Wealth in the West'. Using cutting-edge research and new, sometimes surprising, data, Waldenström shows that what stands out since the late 1800s is a massive rise in the size of the middle class and its share of society’s total wealth. Unfettered capitalism, it seems, doesn’t have to lead to boundless inequality. The key to progress was political and institutional change that enabled citizens to become educated, better paid, and to amass wealth through housing and pension savings. Waldenström asks how we can...2024-10-1858 minThe Economic and Political History PodcastThe Economic and Political History PodcastA History of American Foreign Policy | Dale Copeland with Javier MejiaInterview with Dale C. Copeland, author of 'A World Safe for Commerce: American Foreign Policy from the Revolution to the Rise of China' When the Cold War ended, many believed that expanding trade would usher in an era of peace. Yet today the United States finds itself confronting not just Russia in Europe but China in the Indo-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America.

In "The Invention of Prehistory," historian Stefanos Geroulanos explores how Enlightenment-era thinkers began to consider a human past beyond recorded history, moving away from religious explanations to empirical ones. Geroulanos details how various ideas—from the “state of nature” to theories about Neanderthals—shaped Western intellectual thought and justified imperialist and repressive regimes. These notions, ranging from seeing other cultures as "sava...2024-05-2558 minNoticiero de Nacho Lozano en Radio ChilangoNoticiero de Nacho Lozano en Radio ChilangoCalor alcanzará 35 grados en CDMX.

Meissner, author of 'One From the Many: The Global Economy Since 1850' This book provides a brief introduction to the economic history of globalization since 1850. Key indicators, such as trade-to-production ratios, global foreign assets relative to world production, and the share of foreign-born in the population, are tracked over time. All globalization indicators rose between 1850 and 1914, during the first wave of globalization. From 1918 to 1939, the global economy stagnated, experiencing a significant collapse during the Great Depression. Post-World War II, the global economy re-emerged, and integration deepened, generating economic benefits and raising welfare over the long...2024-05-1153 minThe Economic and Political History PodcastThe Economic and Political History PodcastDictatorship and Violence in Muslim Societies | Faisal Ahmed with Javier MejiaInterview with Faisal Ahmed, author of 'Conquests and Rents: A Political Economy of Dictatorship and Violence in Muslim Societies' Tragically, dictatorship and civil strife are prevalent in many contemporary Muslim-majority (hereon, Muslim) societies; characteristics that are detrimental to socio-economic development.

An interconnected world that had boasted major empires and societies, relative peace, robust commerce, and monumental architecture was lost and the so-called First Dark Age had begun.

Award-winning sociologist Michael Mann concludes that it is a handful of political leaders—people with emotions and ideologies, and constrained by inherited culture and institutions—who undertake such decisions, usually irrationally choosing war and seldom achieving their desired results. Mann examines the history of war through the ages and across the globe—from ancient Rome to Ukraine, imperial China to the Middle East, Japan and Europe to Latin an...2024-02-181h 00The Economic and Political History PodcastThe Economic and Political History PodcastJews, Christian Usurers, and Mass Expulsion in Medieval Europe | Rowan Dorin with Javier MejiaInterview with Rowan Dorin, author of 'No Return : Jews, Christian Usurers, and the Spread of Mass Expulsion in Medieval Europe' Beginning in the twelfth century, Jewish moneylenders increasingly found themselves in the crosshairs of European authorities, who denounced the evils of usury as they expelled Jews from their lands. Yet Jews were not alone in supplying coin and credit to needy borrowers. Across much of Western Europe, foreign Christians likewise engaged in professional moneylending, and they too faced repeated threats of expulsion from the communities in which they settled. No Return examines how mass expulsion became a pervasive feature of...2024-02-0253 minThe Economic and Political History PodcastThe Economic and Political History PodcastAs Gods Among Men. A History of the Rich in the West | Guido Alfani with Javier MejiaInterview with Guido Alfani, author of 'God Among Men. A History of the Rich in the West' The rich have always fascinated, sometimes in problematic ways. Medieval thinkers feared that the super-rich would act ‘as gods among men’; much more recently Thomas Piketty made wealth central to discussions of inequality. In this book, Guido Alfani offers a history of the rich and super-rich in the West, examining who they were, how they accumulated their wealth and what role they played in society.

Beginning with the Sui dynasty’s introduction of the civil service exam, known as Keju, in 587 CE—and continuing through the personnel management system used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—Chinese autocracies have developed exceptional tools for homogenizing ideas, norms, and practices.
