Barth. I am a history professor at Arizona State university. With two very stellar what was programs. There they are, on the screen. The school of historical, philosophical and religious studies. Quite a mouthful. We call it shippers. Also, the center for political thought and leadership. Or ptl, another stellar program. If this lecture intrigues you, you should check out our center. We are doing big things. Finally, if you are interested in learning more about yours truly, www. Professorbarth. Com. You can read about me on that website. A generation of politicians has passed. Alexander hamilton died in a dual in 1804. James madison pictured there on the right retired from politics and dies in 1836. John adams at Thomas Jefferson die on the same day, july 4, 1826. 50 years to the day of the signing of the declaration of independence. Pretty incredible. You cant make Something Like that up. America is changing. A market revolution is sweeping the young republic. Mass commercialization.
