This week we take a look at the stories that rule our society. A country’s border is merely an imaginary line, a dollar bill is just paper, and the president is literally just as much human as you or I. This episode is not a call for rebellion, btw. No seriously, it’s not.

This episode is based largely on the article, “Why humans run the world” by Yuval Noah Harari. Also inspired by the book, Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson.
