Description: Today we are joined by special guest Michael Pye to talk about his new book Europe’s Babylon: The Rise and Fall of Antwerp’s Golden Age. Michael Pye shows us how Antwerp was the New York City of its day. It was a center for politics, finance, art, music, industry and religion for all of Europe. We will find out more about how Antwerp was like a shooting star in the history due to its rapid rise and fall in historical importance.
