That is the name of the new series of posts that David McDuff is doing. You may remember one of his other series entitled Going Back, where he discussed his impressions of the Soviet Union while living there in the sixties. This current series is his reflections on essays in the book The Dragons of Expectation – Reality and Delusion in the Course of History, which is about many things from the human mindset on ideas to history to democracy. The first post is located here and the next here.
