Our Foundations Podcast

All institutions rise and fall. From the Roman Empire to the pre Reformation Church to the current State, there are patterns of this that repeat themselves clearly. For the future, we can only speculate but unless these historical patterns break, we can get a rough idea of how things will develop on a macro level. This episode looks at what happened when Rome and the Church fell and what would likely happen if the nation state system lost it's prominence in a similar fashion. Who handles law, defense, arbitration, religion, etc. before and after these power shifts?

Power on an institutional level shifts and evolves continuously through history. This episode explores some of these shifts around the Reformation and today through war and economics. As always, the parallels are strong between the decentralization of the Church and centralization of the State historically and current trends of decentralizing politics and centralizing corporate interests.

Continuing the trend of a macro survey, some key shifts of the Reformation time period are compared with modern shifts. These include the source of morality and law, the role of the State, the Church, and corporations, decentralization of religion and politics, propaganda, the treaties of Augsburg and Westphalia, and more.

This is the first episode of the second half of season 2. The interviews are concluded and the rest of the season will be a solo format with shorter episodes. This episode takes a macro view on ideological movements and how they evolve. This includes movements such as the early church and the Reformation, the founding of the United States and it's current political issues, and the technological revolution of the internet. Feedback is very welcome as I switch to this format and style. Thank you for listening and for your support.
