56:40Now PlayingWe talk to historian Harvey J. Kaye about the radicalism espoused by Thomas Paine, who later became an inspiration to abolitionists, suffragettes, labor organizers, and socialists. How prominent were Paine’s ideas in the American Revolution and how should we view the event – an intra-elite battle or an emancipatory event?
Harvey J. Kaye is a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and the author of Thomas Paine and the Promise of America: A History & Biography, among other books.
