What is property? We'll look at different concepts of property in different societies across the world and across history. And i will be doing an interview on one of my favorite political pod casts, from alpha to omega, very soon. So if you want to hear me live, unscripted and unhinged, do check that out. I'm currently charging per episode and not per month, and you won't get charged more than 12 times a year, maximum, until next time s up a bit.

Episode notes
Human beings have free will, but our actions are constrained by material realities. Understanding how material and practical conditions shape human behaviour can make all the difference between success and catastrophic failure when it comes to the whole spectrum of political action, from private sector negotiation, to crafting legislation, to making a revolution.
In this episode we look at:
The relationship between economic activity and the high status of women in traditional Haudenosaunee / Iroquois society
How World War I helped women win the right to vote in Europe and North America
How World War II catalyzed the Black civil rights movement in the United States.
The success, failure, and accidental success of the English Peasant’s Revolt of 1381
The implications of the Anarchist Revolution in Spain in 1936-1939 for the future of industrial civilization.
