このコンテンツについて
Was the Italian Renaissance really a “Golden Age”? And if so, would anyone living through it have actually noticed? In this week’s episode of The More Freedom Foundation Podcast, Robert Morris dives deep into the myths and realities of history's most romanticized era. Inspired by Ada Palmer’s Inventing the Renaissance: Myths of a Golden Age, Rob shares his growing fascination with the period—and why Palmer’s perspective has reshaped how he sees it.
We also contrast that thoughtful take with William Manchester’s A World Lit Only by Fire, a bestselling but quite crap take on the Middle Ages and Renaissance that Rob feels misses the mark. From artistic masterpieces and humanist philosophy to the messier truths of war, plague, and inequality, we explore what makes a “Golden Age” in the first place—and whether the glow comes from hindsight more than history.
