Another BBC series in the same spirit as "The Ascent of Man - Jacob Bronowski" on science , "Civilization - Kenneth Clarke" on art, and "Connections - James Burke" on technology.

The Age of Uncertainty - BBC | Episode 1 - The Prophets and Promise of Classical Capitalism + series playlist

Recently learned about the late economist J. K. Galbraith who introduced the concept of the "bezzle" from "embezzlement".

As compelling as his story was(I really enjoyed it) there are a lot of controversial claims in "Connections" That is why Burke was always careful to say it was his personal opinion.
