"It's a good lesson... I hope we learn it someday". Classic.

Mapguru

"Someone.." It was always Walpole.

Stormy Weather

That was fantastic! I love the way you guys present these things!

Christian Jensen

Nice tie-up to the South Sea Bubble. I have really enjoyed this series, and it has been a pleasure to see how you have managed to make a subject that could very easy have been dull or dreary into something like a bi-weekly heist mini-series

Keith Richards

i'm going to have to start bringing "it was walpole!" into conversations

Teollinc

and this folks is why extreme financing can be rather cool. I really am amazed the amount of craziness that came from this chapter of history

Stephen

Hilariously presented. "It was Walpole."

Alan Haskayne

I can't believe that you guys make the political maneuvering of World War One, and the economic turmoil of the South Seas Bubble as exciting as the Sengoku, or Roman warfare

Michael Waisfeld

To be fair, I'm just surprised nobody lost his head for this whole "crashing the national economy" business. And after all this shenanigans England still somehow ended up ruling most of the world.

Michael Jebbett

The South Sea Company has a new name now. It's called Wall Street, and it's doing the same crap it did centuries ago.

Alexander Medeiros

I would love to read the Walpole letters you spoke of. Where can I do that?

Farzad Mansouri

Well that was depressing, history rhythms again.

Sounds like James was working from a physical version of the text, but I'm looking for an electronic version and I'll post it on the Patron feed if I find one!

To me, this is why I've always loved history so much. When done well, it's just "Story time for grown-ups." And I loved story time!
