[IAEP] Historian David McCullough endorses constructionism?

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

It is a nagging feeling I have that in the lack of understanding of 
cause and effect lies a lot of what is wrong everywhere, especially in 
countries that do not seem to be able ever to get out of the 
"subdesarrollo" (underdevelopment) - and also help us to avoid debt ...

I see History and Science as venues where cause and effect can be 
learned, understood, and hopefully become part of what people are 
empowered with.

Interactive History can make that subject be useful, beyond the 
traditional memorizing of dates and events, and actually start 
reflections of the "what if?" type
