Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the neglected connection between economic austerity and political repression in the early years of Fascist Italy.Drawing on the groundbreaking work of economist Clara Mattei, we delve into how Mussolini's regime used budget cuts, regressive taxation, and mass layoffs not just to balance the books, but to crush the Italian working class. We examine the "Two Red Years" (Biennio Rosso) that terrified the bourgeoisie and how Fascism was welcomed by liberal elites as a necessary tool to restore order and protect private capital.From the hiking of third-class rail fares to the slashing of veteran benefits, we unpack how economic policy was weaponized to reverse the democratic gains of the post-WWI era. Was austerity the true engine of the Fascist counter-revolution?Key Topics:Austerity as Repression: How economic policy was used to discipline the working class.The Liberal-Fascist Alliance: Why mainstream economists supported Mussolini.The Biennio Rosso: The socialist uprising that terrified Italy's elites.The Motto "Nothing for Nothing": De Stefani's ruthless approach to public spending.Resources:"Austerity and Repressive Politics: Italian Economists and the Early Years of the Fascist Government" by Clara Mattei (Institute of Economics, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna)Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

In the Silent Era, before the existence of the Hays Code (and largely a cause for it), many female screenwriters wrote heroines who flouted the brazen sexual freedom of the new century, a specialty of Josephine “Jo” Lovett. Born in October 1877 in San Francisco Lovett would spend some time as a lead actress on the … Continue reading "Sexual Liberation 1920s Style: The Screenwriting Career of Josephine Lovett – Dr. Rosanne Welch, Script Magazine, December 2025" Related posts: From Missouri to Musicals: The Screenwriting Career of Dorothy Yost – Dr. Rosanne Welch, Script Magazine, November 2025 Lois Weber: More than a Writer-Director She's the Auteur Activist of Early Cinema – Dr. Rosanne Welch, Script Magazine, April 2025 Focused on Sin and Redemption Before the Hays Code: The Screenwriting Career of Alice D.G.

OA1217 - Well, we recorded a bit late to make sure we caught Trump's "announcement" thingy and it was... nothing. But that's good! Matt also takes us through more travel bans that are going into effect and have been way underreported on. But The Federalist has a piece saying not only is this all great, but Trump should proudly adopt 1920s immigration policy. There is no quiet part anymore. But fortunately, Matt has a fun footnote for us to bring us back up!

Last week ended with the Democrats triumphant after huge wins with voters across the country; then at the start of this week the Republicans were triumphant when eight Senate Democrats caved on the shutdown; but then, since Wednesday, Trump and the Republicans have been reeling since Democrats on the House oversight committee released devastating emails from the Epstein files – Harold Meyerson comments. Also: As mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani will be the first socialist in American history to hold significant power. It's a huge opportunity, and a huge responsibility. Bhaskar Sunkara, president of The Nation and author of “The Socialist Manifesto,” will comment.Plus: How a band of visionaries and a million dollars upended America – in the 1920s, which had some remarkable similarities to our own era. Award winning historian John Fabian Witt will explain; his new book is ‘The Radical Fund.'

The electrification boom of the 1920s led to rapid industrial growth, concentrated market power, speculative investment, and ultimately a market crash followed by regulatory reforms. Artificial intelligence is experiencing similar patterns, with accelerated adoption, significant investment, market concentration among a few firms, and varied regulatory approaches. Business leaders are advised to recognize these historical parallels and prepare for both opportunities and risks as AI becomes increasingly integrated into the economy.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Some hauntings never really end—they wait. For one listener, that haunting takes the form of a small boy dressed in 1920s-style clothes. He first appeared during her pregnancy in 2016, making himself known through creaking footsteps, moving chairs, and rattling dishes. By her second pregnancy, he became bolder—appearing in full view, turning lights on, and even playing with her young child. Others saw him too. A godmother leaving the property glimpsed him near the edge of the yard: blonde hair, white shirt, brown overalls—exactly how the mother had seen him inside the home. But it wasn't just footsteps or shadows. Sometimes she'd wake to the feeling of a small hand on her leg, only to find no one there. The boy seemed tied not just to the home—but to her pregnancies themselves. Now expecting her third child, the activity has returned once more. Her oldest daughter witnessed the most terrifying moment yet: a laundry bag floating on its own, hovering in the doorway, before a little boy appeared near the Christmas tree… only to vanish. Why does this ghost child reappear every time she's expecting? Is he a protector? A trickster? Or something darker drawn to new life? #RealGhostStories #GhostBoy #HauntedHouse #ParanormalActivity #PregnancyParanormal #CreepyStories #HauntedChild #1920sGhost #GhostStoriesOnline #UnexplainedPhenomena Love real ghost stories?

The guns fell silent on November 11, 1918. But for millions of American “Doughboys” — the nickname given to U.S. infantrymen in World War I — the story didn't end there. They returned home changed, stepping into a country that barely resembled the one they'd left. As the 1920s roared into life, veterans tried to rejoin a world moving faster than ever before. Some blended in. Others struggled. A few stood out. And their second lives often left behind records that are waiting for you to discover...

July 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Trial – a trial that exposed profound divisions in America over religion, education, and public morality. This was a legal case in Dayton, Tennessee, where high school teacher John Scopes was prosecuted for teaching evolution, violating the state's Butler Act. The Butler Act was a 1925 Tennessee law that prohibited public school teachers from teaching any theory that denied the biblical account of human creation, specifically targeting the teaching of evolution. But believe it or not, this entire trial was orchestrated. Local leaders had the teacher volunteer to be charged as a publicity stunt to boost the town's economy and gain national attention. But it soon gained far more attention than anyone expected, as it touch a nerve on the national clash between an increasingly secular scientific establishment and religious fundamentalists. Battle lines were drawn in the courtroom. Clarence Darrow, a renowned agnostic lawyer and advocate for civil liberties, defended Scopes, while William Jennings Bryan, a prominent Christian populist, three-time presidential candidate, and anti-evolution crusader, prosecuted, highlighting their contrasting worldviews. The trial became a media sensation due to its clash of science versus religion, drawing hundreds of reporters, radio broadcasts, and public fascination with the dramatic courtroom exchanges, particularly Darrow’s cross-examination of Bryan. To discuss the legacy of the case is today’s guest, Brenda Wineapple, author of “Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial that Riveted America.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode: Split ticket voting—where voters cast ballots for candidates from different political parties—has declined dramatically since peaking in the 1980s, according to new analysis of over 100 years of election data. Mixed party outcomes, where states elect different parties for president and down-ballot races, reached historic highs in 1972 and 1984 when Nixon and Reagan won 49 states respectively, creating opportunities for split results. Today, these outcomes occur in single digits nationwide, with Nevada in 2024 serving as a rare example where Trump won the presidential vote while Democrats maintained control of the Senate seat and state legislature. The data, spanning from 1916 to 2024, shows that factors like well-funded incumbents, popular presidential candidates, redistricting, and reduced electoral competition all influence whether states produce mixed party results across different offices.Explore our new report: https://ballotpedia.org/Mixed-party_election_outcomes_in_presidential_election_years,_1916-2024 Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

If you think about the 1920s in the United States, a few things might come to mind—jazz, prohibition, Babe Ruth, and, right at the end, the Wall Street Crash. And if you think of crime, you probably think of Al Capone, bootlegging, and fast-talking wise guys with Tommy guns. But the 1920s were also in some ways the nation's introduction to crimes that could shock and horrify the entire country. Leopold and Loeb's thrill killing, the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby, the utter horror of child-killer and cannibal Albert Fish. And possibly the most prolific killer of the decade was a man whose strange desires sent him on a trail of murder all across a continent.Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

Mark Sutherland discusses the historical context and ongoing relevance of eugenics and population control, as explored in his book "Exterminating Poverty". Sutherland details his grandfather, Dr. Halliday Sutherland's, true motivations for opposing "Britain's Margaret Sanger" Marie Stopes, arguing that it was not due to his Catholicism but his stand against Stopes' eugenics and Neo-Malthusianism.
