I always hated the history back in school. All just dates and names to remember, minimum reasoning or explanation.
Then I took a course from one toxic libertarian about the ~"evolution of US economic policies and politics in the 20th century~", and it blew my mind.
Telling history like an economic story with incentives and reasons makes the it much more interesting, useful, and "real". Without it, it's just a "nominal" history.
