Can thinking through the arch of history assist modern thinkers in planning for the future? Or is the future uncertain and separate from the happenings of the past?

Brent cohosts today’s episode with Albert Zambone, an Oxford University-trained historian of colonial America and the host of the Historically Thinking podcast. Together, Brent and Al interview David Staley, an associate professor of history at the Ohio State University and the Director of the Humanities Institute. They discuss futurism, what we can learn from the past, and whether COVID-19 will change the future of work.
