Gordon White | Depolarization, Decentralization, & Jack Sparrow
American Formulation, Transcendental Rights and Industrial Transitions
The hosts discuss the original "spell" of the American formulation, which focused on decentralized power and transcendental rights like free speech. They compare the current societal shift to the 19th-century transition to an industrial economy, which gave rise to Marxism and anarchism. White suggests that decentralization is the only insurance policy against systemic cronyism.
