Cullen Murphy

Cullen Murphy, a writer at The Atlantic and author of "Feudalism Is Our Future," explores the eerie parallels between modern governance and neo-feudalism. He delves into the allure of imperial Rome and how historical lessons reveal the dangers of privatization. The conversation examines how fragmentation of authority mirrors ancient declines, and the unexpected costs of privatization on public services. Murphy prompts listeners to consider what future societal structures might emerge and how they relate to our current political landscape.
