King Louis XVI of France was beheaded by guillotine on January 21, 1793 – a pivotal event in (the often quite unsafe) birth of modern liberal democracy. In part one of our look at the French Revolution, the Wrong Boys examine the events leading up to the death of the king (and the birth of the French First Republic), and try to grapple with what these events mean today for those of us who want to make the world a better place. This episode is part of our ongoing Revolution Series, available on Patreon as a thank you to the beautiful geniuses who make this podcast possible

Walmart is the world’s largest corporation, a mantle it has achieved by (internally) eschewing market-based allocation, and developing itself into a sophisticated and well-functioning globally-planned economy. This week, guests Leigh and Michal join the Wrong Boys to talk about their new book, and how analyzing the biggest, multinational, consumer-facing corporations puts to rest the myth that economic planning doesn’t work.

This week The Wrong Boys gaze into The All-Seeing Face, longing for joy and human connection, instead finding a malicious, psychologically invasive hell casino that tracks their every move and thought, creating a trove of information so vast and powerful that no mere human could morally choose how to wield it. In a desperate last attempt to fix this dystopia, the boys send a friend request to the man in charge of it all, and then wait, nervous, yet hopeful, that Mark Zuckerberg will finally become their friend.
