The title of i say this is a little bit unusual because this is kind of a deeper dive than usual into history. It is very fornt understand the past and understand what we are today. We spend a little more time on the historical today than on the current dimension. It has gotten short since the awful events in the early 1930s. We have a wonderful panel for you today.
