An economic crisis can only be caused by economic factors. Pretty straightforward and logical, isn't it? Well, not really. Sometimes the roots of an economic decline of a state can originate from an unpleasant political climate - for instance, in Bulgaria. To find out how and why, watch the Institute for Market Economics analysts Yavor Aleksiev and Petar Ganev talk about the current economic situation of the country.

What is a witch? That is the question that Dr. Dannie Chalk raises in her talk "Witchcraft in Early Modern England". Due to its mysterious nature, the art of witchcraft has always attracted a lot of controversy, but what's even more controversial are the prejudices and misconceptions about witchcraft that people have now, in the age of precision and progress. For example, despite the common perception, women accused of witchcraft in the 16th-17th centuries were mostly young, married and with children; and were not prosecuted by the Church, tortured or burned. To find out more surprising facts and to answer the question "What is a witch?" for yourself, watch the entire talk here on AUBGTalks!
Also, even though it has little to do with witchcraft, the team of AUBGTalks would like to wish you, our beloved subscribers, a Merry Christmas, lots of luck and success in the upcoming Year of Our Lord 2016. And do your best in order not to get hanged like those witches. Yes, a little spoiler here - the witches were hanged, not burned.

It is a common knowledge that the scientific progress played a significant role in the evolution of Homo Sapiens, but so did such things as religioin and faith.

Early Stuart England is most likely to sound very abstract, distant and boring to you.

History as a science is a science about relationships. Relationships between people, organizations, countries. And if all those relationships were happy, history wouldn't be such a fun thing to study. In his talk "Breaking the Crown", Dr. John Rodrigue throws a light on how the political system of Early Stuart England was regulated by a rather problematic relationship between the Monarch and the Parliament.

(October 19, 2015) John Rodrigue talks about the condition of marriage the Parliament had for the Monarch throughout the years. John Rodrigue is an Adjunct A...
