What's Happened So Far – The Grand Tour

When we know what has happened so far, we perceive what is happening today more keenly and understand what tomorrow may bring. In “What’s Happened So Far,” history journalist Joachim Telgenbüscher and historian Nils Minkmar discuss the dramas, triumphs, events, and figures in history that have shaped our world and continue to influence us today. From the political intrigues of the Roman Empire, to the schemes of fanatical cult leaders in the early modern era, to dealing with extremists and the leadership skills of great conquerors.

Following their sold-out 2026 tour of Germany, they’ll join you on their second tour to explore the origins of modern capitalism. The focus is on mining, banking, and the price of power. Join us on a journey back to a time when even the fear for one’s salvation could be turned into a lucrative business, and when shrewd merchants became more powerful than many a king.
