American Heritage

Guest: Grant Madsen, Ph.D., History professor at Brigham Young University  BYU history professor Grant Madsen shares his insights from the introductory American History course he teaches. So, we’ll get a college history lesson, but we don’t have any homework or quizzes! Each week features a new topic and a deeper understanding of our past.  This week Marcus Smith talks with Professor Madsen about the birth of consumerism—something alive and well today in American culture.
