The Industrial Revolutions Dave Broker

For this year's Holidays bonus episode, we discuss the origins of two of the most popular Christmas traditions: Christmas trees and Christmas cards. Both came out of the First Industrial Revolution thanks to a couple of our old friends. (Available until February 2021.)

Now that the First Industrial Revolution is wrapped up, Dave takes some more questions in this "Ask Me Anything" episode. Support the Industrial Revolutions on Patreon! Want to advertise on the Industrial Revolutions? Contact me here.

In 1848, the effects of the industrialization and financial modernization combined with the forces of burgeoning ideologies and class and national identities to create a year of revolutions. Uprisings against the existing order swept across Continental Europe – although these missions failed almost everywhere. It marked a turning point in world history – a flashpoint in the political and economic transitions underway – and for us, it will mark the end of the First Industrial Revolution. Submit your questions for the upcoming AMA episode here. Check out Math!

Telling the story of the Industrial Revolution would not be complete without spending some time on Queen Victoria and her consort, Prince Albert. Her long reign came at the height of British power and, together with her hard-working husband, she forged a legacy that embraced change. Under her rule, the economy was modernized, the constitution became more democratic, and the country promoted new learning and new technology.  Support the Industrial Revolutions on Patreon: https://patreon.com/indrevpod This episode is sponsored by the Techmeme Ride Home Podcast: https://www.ridehome.info/podcast/techmeme-ride-home/ Also check out Tesla: The Life and Times Podcast: http://teslapodcast.com/

The second of two episodes devoted to the cultural changes underway in the 18th and 19th Centuries, thanks (at least in part) to the Industrial Revolution. First we’ll explore the so-called Second Great Awakening, which spurred a diversity of religious traditions in the United States. Then we’ll discuss the impact of industrialization on fashion trends (and vice versa). Next, we’ll talk about the changing diets of ordinary people in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. Finally, we’ll wrap up with the history of football.  Check out my interview on the Human Capital Innovations Podcast: https://anchor.fm/hcipodcast/episodes/S5E21---The-History-of-Industrial-Revolutions--the-Transition-of-Human-Capital--and-the-Shifting-Future-of-Work--with-Dave-Broker-ehc6am/a-a2521bh Support the Industrial Revolutions on Patreon: https://patreon.com/indrevpod This episode is sponsored by the Techmeme Ride Home Podcast: https://www.ridehome.info/podcast/techmeme-ride-home/
