... no need to buy anything (yet). You can hear his broadcast by mp3:

George Gordon's School of Law Show Archives

I don't agree with everything he says, but he is spot on concerning MANY issues. I like him a lot. He exposed me to much information that I hadn't considered or known about. I intend to purchase his law kits in the future.

Here is some interesting information I pulled from wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Beard

Charles Austin Beard

As a leader of the "Progressive School" of historiography, he introduced themes of economic self-interest and economic conflict regarding the adoption of the Constitution and the transformations caused by the Civil War. Thus he emphasized the long-term conflict among industrialists in the Northeast, farmers in the Midwest, and planters in the South that he saw as the cause of the Civil War. His study of the financial interests of the drafters of the United States Constitution (An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution) seemed radical in 1913, since he proposed that the U.S. Constitution was a product of economically determinist, land-holding founding fathers. He saw ideology as a product of economic interests.

Good stuff...
