Magna Carta and Modern Controversies from Multiculturalism to Political Correctness (David Starkey)
The Magna Carta was a milestone that circumscribed the power of the sovereign for the first time in human history. In his new book, distinguished British historian and television personality David Starkey looks at the origins of the Great Charter in the 13th century, its significant early revisions, and the ways in which it has been interpreted and reinterpreted by subsequent generations. Starkey explains how core principles of this quintessentially English document migrated to the North American colonies and eventually became the cornerstone of the U.S. Constitution. He also explores how the Magna Carta indirectly led to the enshrinement of human rights in such documents as the Bill of Rights.

Fen Lander That’s an incredibly vague and therefore meaningless answer.
Seems this title is incorrect, great lecture, but no discussion abut multiculturalism and political correctness
Don't agree with a lot of Starkey's politics. However he is utterly brilliant. There isn't an Historian with the same passion and dedication to his job comparable. It's a joy to listen and watch he is simply electrifying.
Starkey is great.
Guy on the left has a St. Andrews tie.
Interessante
Jonah Goldberg rudely continues writing while Starkey speaks. Goldberg is incredibly full of himself.
