PBS just started a three part series on modern international finance - it looks really interesting. Unfortunately, we all missed the first episode, but you can watch it on the web:

Edit: I call it the web. Some call it the net. Wonder which will be the more common vernacular. Probably net.

It would be interesting to know what was happening in France during the Amistead trial. I know (dimly) that France was less racist than most European countries, although France, like most European countries, allowed slavery, indeed, prospered from slavery.

One of my favorite stories, which hasn't been told for a while, is how slavery led to the French revolution. The French colonized the West Indies, and made a lot of money in sugar and indigo, impossible without slaves or tractors. This money led to a large bourgeoisie in France, who agitated against the privileges of nobility.
