这就是历史学家通常所做的,对因果关系进行狡辩,重点是,有时世界在不断变化,而在正确的地方发出正确的声音可以感动世界。例如,托马斯·潘恩和本·富兰克林。俾斯麦。列宁。
(This is what historians usually do, quibble about cause and effect when the point is, there are times when the world is in flux and the right voice in the right place can move the world. Thomas Paine and Ben Franklin, for instance. Bismark. Lenin.)
