    The Solutions in the History Industry Redeeming itself from the Curse of Nostalgia (heads in the sands of time)

    When British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher caused an uproar in 1987 by telling an interviewer, “There is no such thing as society,” she was referring to the big amorphous concept, not the specific word.
