Status Updates From L'ère des révolutions, 1789...

Maybe I sit here from my 21st century vantage point but I have to ask myself. How could it not be evident that a revolution could be exported or that peoples are different than their rulers? I feel like Hobsbawm doesn’t really address or set up any proof suggesting that this was something that had to be found out. I’m unless I understood the chapter incorrectly.

Honestly, he clears up a lot of the questions I had about the French revolution wow

what a beautiful book

chapter on the bourgeoisie which developed out of the dual revolution just reads like a description of the AI silicon valley bubble (who will be our Dickens?)
