Then & Now | Short-termism, Metanarratives and the History Manifesto @ThenNow | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 23 hours ago
I look at short-termism in business, politics, and academia. In the History Manifesto, historians Jo Guldi and David Armitage argue for a return to long term thinking to help us deal creatively with issues like Climate Change and global inequality. The type of history they advocate for is one that draws inspiration from Fernand Braudel’s study of the Mediterranean over the long duree and the Annales School. They also look at how big data is revolutionizing history departments. I also look at stock buybacks and select committees.
