Every would-be student of history should first learn some stock-trading, and put some significant money of their own at risk. Then they would learn the real lesson of history: that the people actually making history had no idea how it would turn out; the best they could manage was an educated guess. Its no co-incidence that this age, when all our intellectual poseurs expect lifetime security from the state, is also the age that falls all over itself to apologize for the past, and fancies the past has somehow been corrected thereby. Nothing teaches the folly of this approach like having some of ones own wealth at active risk.
