Are we reliving the 1930s?

Sunday Morning

David Ekbladh is a Professor of History at Tufts University. He's well-published, especially regarding the upheavals of the 20th century, and his new book is Look at the World: The Rise of an American Globalism in the 1930s. The book reflects a growing interest in the interwar crisis, and focuses on a period where political upheaval facilitated the rise of "totalitarian" states. These were believed to have changed the nature of international life.
