238 - Societal Complexity, Part II: Today's Perspective
Guest: Paul Arbair Host: Markus Voelter Shownoter: Pascal Becker
In October 2015, Joseph Tainter was my guest in omega tau 184 to discuss his concept of increasing complexity and eventual collapse of societies. In this episode, our guest Paul Arbair discusses these concepts in the light of today’s rising populism in several countries. The episode is based on two articles Paul wrote on his blog: one on Brexit and one on Trump.
