Empire of History - Special Guest Gordon S. Wood
Manage episode 302909792 series 2858733
It’s fitting that our recent discussion of how authors and their books are realized is followed this week by a discussion with the finest example of a historian, Gordon Wood. We explore his new book, “Power and Liberty: Constitutionalism in the American Revolution;” locate it in the amazing arc of Gordon’s peerless career, and then conduct a lively discussion of what at first glance seems a clear disagreement between Akhil and Gordon: who was the “father of the Constitution?” The conclusion may surprise you. Finally, our historical and constitutional titans address an area of ongoing controversy surrounding the American Founding.
