The History You Forgot

Episode 5: Does History Repeat


Listen Later

In this episode of the History You Forgot podcast, we explore the concept of whether history repeats itself, guided by the Strauss-Howe theory which suggests that history follows cyclical patterns. We discuss historical cycles through the lens of seasons—spring, summer, fall, and winter—illustrating these concepts with examples from European and American history.

The episode concludes with a call for understanding history to better navigate contemporary challenges.
