On this week’s Dispatches, host Brady Crytzer interviews historian and economist Robert E. Wright on how Great Britain sought to prevent economic expansion in the colonies by squelching their trade and denying them control of their own monetary policies, leading to bankruptcies—a much more powerful incentive for independence than previously thought.
