In this episode, we’ll explore a framework for evaluating the British Empire through ethical, political, and economic perspectives. We’ll discuss key concepts such as the Golden Rule as an ethical principle and free trade as an economic policy. Politically, we’ll examine democracy, imperialism, and nationalism, considering instances where British actions contradicted their stated ideals. Finally, we’ll delve into the challenges faced by former colonies in their transition to independence. Join us as we analyze the complexities of the British Empire and its lasting impact on the world.
