I was hoping you would touch on the strand of Puritanism that made it to the New World. We just had our Thanksgiving holiday, which means excesses of consumerism -- another contradiciton that arose not out of Puritans of New England, but more specifically Roger Williams and the liberty of conscious that he brought to Rhode Island Charter. This was a mere couple of decades before Locke's life, liberty, and property. All these arrows of time point back to Puritans of Cambridge.
Thank you professor Macfarlane for such interesting autobiographical insights about various topics. I enjoy them a lot. Greetings from Belgrade.
