Podcast appearances and mentions of david wengrow

Was uns wirklich bewegt – ein Gespräch über Spiritualität, Wahrheit und Veränderung Vor einiger Zeit hat Sabine einen Artikel über mich veröffentlicht – und ich kann ehrlich sagen: Es war einer der berührendsten und treffendsten Texte, die je über mich geschrieben wurden. Warum? Weil Sabine nicht nur Journalistin ist, sondern auch ein Mensch mit Tiefgang. Wir teilen ähnliche Werte und eine tiefe Verbindung zu Wahrheit, Freiheit und spirituellem Wachstum. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über unsere persönliche Reise zur Spiritualität, über den Wunsch nach einem authentischen Leben – und darüber, wie Veränderung manchmal die einzige Antwort ist. Wir reden offen über das Thema Auswandern, unsere Gedanken zur Zukunft Deutschlands und wie wir Wege finden, uns selbst treu zu bleiben, auch wenn sich alles verändert. Eine ehrliche Folge über innere Kompasse, Neuanfänge und das, was bleibt. Sabine Breit – Linguistin, Unternehmerin, Beaterin, Konferenzdolmetscherin und Autorin – hilft Menschen in Unternehmen unterschiedlichster Größe seit 30 Jahren dabei, ihrer Stimme Gehör zu verschaffen, einander zu verstehen und miteinander zu arbeiten. Ferner hat sie an Prozessen und Strukturen mitgebaut, die dies unterstützen. Sie durchdringt Übersetzungsprozesse auf der Metaebene, d. h. als das Grundprinzip jeder menschlichen Interaktion. Auf der Grundlage ihrer Erfahrungen und Einsichten hat sie ein Rahmenwerk entwickelt, mit dem Interaktionen besser verstanden und gestaltet werden können, was Einzelpersonen und Unternehmen dabei hilft, bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen und operative Exzellenz zu erreichen.

What if everything we think we know about the history of our species is wrong? That's the provocative question at the heart of a new book by today's guest, David Wengrow. Hailed as fascinating, brilliant, and potentially revolutionary, “The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity” debuted at no. 2 on the New York Times bestseller list. Drawing on the latest research in archeology and anthropology, it suggests that the lives of our ancient ancestors were not nasty, brutish, and short. On the contrary, they were playful, collaborative, and improvisational — and there's a lot they can teach us about how to improve the world as we know it.

For this haunted Wicked Problems – Climate Tech Conversations, Richard Delevan is joined by celebrated author Manda Scott, known for historical fiction, thrilling plots, and a gift for exploring deep-seated mythologies that shape human struggles.In this Halloween/Samhain episode, Scott takes us through her latest novel, Any Human Power, a genre-bending work that interweaves climate, technology, politics, and mythology to probe our existential crises. Halloween, or Samhain in Celtic tradition, is when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest—a fitting setting for a discussion blending the metaphysical with the political. We dive into how stories, myths, and beliefs profoundly shape our understanding of climate change—and our responses to it.Utopia, Dystopia… or Thrutopia?Scott argues that we face more than climate change; we're in a polycrisis—a web of interlinked existential threats that defy isolated solutions. Climate breakdown, economic disparity, and political polarization are all interwoven. Rather than focusing on dystopia, Scott introduces us to “Thrutopia,” stories that offer not only escape or survival but paths to reimagining governance, social structures, and our relationship with nature. In her view, we don't need heroes; we need collective transformation.The Role of Myth in Modern CrisesMythologies shape how we interpret reality and help us frame complex issues in ways that feel tangible. Scott's storytelling bridges the familiar with the visionary, drawing on Irish and Scottish influences that explore the liminal “between” spaces, echoing Samhain's themes. As she explains, this space “between” worlds encourages us to imagine beyond the typical bounds of existence—a lens through which we can more fully grasp the challenges before us.Changing Our Relationship with Power and TechnologyScott explores a key theme: the gap between technology's potential and its often-destructive application. Drawing on Taiwan's Audrey Tang's vision for tech as a unifying tool, Scott reimagines social media as something that builds communities, not conflict— essential for a sustainable future. Using insights from neuropsychology, she explains how power structures hijack our fears through “limbic system manipulation.” This, she argues, is not inevitable; it is simply a reflection of our system's structural failures. Her work calls us to confront these flaws and envision a fundamentally different world.Dive DeeperHer two podcasts, Accidental Gods and Dreaming Awake, explore regenerative futures, mythology, and spiritual aspects of climate action. Her courses offer ways to reconnect with the “web of life” and sustainable change.Among her influences are Ursula Le Guin's ideas on human power, Kim Stanley Robinson's climate fiction, and The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow, which reimagines human history and societal structures.Manda Scott's novel, Any Human PowerPodcasts: Accidental Gods and Dreaming AwakeCourses: Thrutopia - Writing Our Way to a Future Hosted on Acast.

How can we achieve total systemic change? And are there politicians anywhere who are ready to make it happen (in a way that supports the continuation of complex life on this planet, not the scorched-earth destruction of the right)?The short answer is that yes, there are people deeply embedded in politics who know how dire things are and that we need urgent change. One of these is Natale Bennett, former Green Party leader and now Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle, one of two Green Party members of the UK's House of Lords. She is also the author of the book Change Everything: How We Can Rethink, Repair and Rebuild Society, which was published by UnBound in 2024.Her thesis is that what has been called political common sense over recent decades—that greed is good, inequality doesn't matter and we can keep treating the planet as a mine and a dumping ground—has been a recipe for disaster. The ideology of neoliberalism has delivered poverty and destruction, with a few benefiting while the rest of us pay. We need urgent change - and we have the routes to do it.  Many ideas and arguments in this book have been inspired by the people she has met around the UK. Every idea in it has been road-tested, honed by interaction. We can only get through this dangerous stage  by relying on the collective ingenuity, talents and creativity of millions of people, all empowered to “do politics”. This book aims to synthesise the voices Natalie has heard and read –and encourage them to step forward. They collectively represent true common sense.That's why she chose to publish it with Unbound using crowdfunding. You can order it through them, or it should be in your local bookstore.

Is the arrow of history one of progress, where things just keep getting more bureaucratic and more complex, or is there another story that we could tell about the past? This week we're cracking open David Graeber and David Wengrow's Dawn of Everything, which argues that the arrow of progress is flat out WRONG. Instead of there being a single story of history that requires us to live these enfeebled, isolated, matrixy lives, there is a whole world of possibility out there for what a society *could* look like, but they've been keeping it from you! Or have they? We enter into this exploration with some skepticism (at least Nastia does), because it's possible that there are other competing systems that litter history, but surely there's something meaningful about the fact that they've all been subsumed into the monetized beast that is the modern capitalist technotopia (or dystopia, the designation of which is inversely dependent on how much paid vacation leave you get and directly dependent to how much time you spend deboning chickens on the Perdue production line). Whatever the case may be, we are listening, Davids - because any change starts with an idea, and this book is full of ‘em.

Former veterinary surgeon turned author, columnist and podcaster Manda Scott explores the need for new narratives that challenge existing economic, cultural and environmental paradigms perpetuating scarcity and powerlessness. Manda critiques current economic systems and advocates for serotonin-driven behaviours over dopamine-centric lifestyles, emphasising transformative corporate governance models and changes in media. Through a thrutopian lens, Manda promotes value-based systems prioritising stakeholder representation and environmental sustainability. Calling for a shift from  trauma-driven frameworks to an initiation culture that focuses on healing and connection, Manda urges us to consider the long-term impact of our actions for future generations and to reconnect to the web of life.   KEY TAKEAWAY ‘If we begin to evolve the serotonin mesh of connection to other people, to ourselves first of all, create that sense of connectedness inside, connection to other people, communities of place, purpose and passion, and connect to the web of life, the more than human world, then I can ask for help, and that help will be given.'   BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS* Any Human Power by Manda Scott - https://amzn.eu/d/gsRGYkF Civilised to Death by Christopher Ryan - https://amzn.eu/d/aPDMfAi The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow - https://amzn.eu/d/iLtIyjQ   ABOUT MANDA In 2016, Manda read for a Masters in Regenerative Economics from Schumacher College, which led her to co-create the Accidental Gods membership programme and podcast, each of which aims to facilitate emergence into a new, regenerative system we'd be proud to leave to the generations that come after us. Her latest novel, Any Human Power, described by Lee Child as 'Instantly immersive and compelling, rich and strange, human and humane', weaves currents of shamanic mythology similar to those in the Boudica series through a ‘Thrutopian' thriller of political upheaval and transformative change.

Den mänskliga utvecklingen är en mer lekfull historia än vi föreställer oss. Det menar Johan Landgren, som guidar oss genom den moderna skogsträdgårdsrörelsen och dess uråldriga rötter. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.På ena sidan staketet – en skog. På den andra – en trädgård. Den första: vild och fri. Ibland magisk. Men också potentiellt farlig. Inte sällan beskriven som en motsats till det mänskliga. Den andra: strukturerad och nyttomaximerad. Inhägnad. Tuktad, klippt och vattenkammad. Men på senare år har den skarpa uppdelningen mellan dem börjat luckras upp. Allt fler har börjat intressera sig för ett mellanting: skogsträdgården. Jag är en av dem.Och när jag nuförtiden vandrar genom odlingarna här hemma på gården är det inte, för att låna ett uttryck från Hermans Hesses Stunder i trädgården, så mycket som ”trädgårdens herre och vaktman”. Istället går jag allt oftare med en känsla av förundran, som liknar den jag känner i skogen. Förundran över hur många olika, sinnrikt konstruerade insekter, som sökt sig hit. Förundran över blomningen, som pågår från tidig vår till en bra bit in på hösten. Och förundran över växtkraften i skogsträdgårdens olika skikt – under jord, krypande längs marken, slingrande på störar och stammar, hängande från trädens grenar. Om vartannat växer här lungrot, rankspenat, bitterkrassing. Oregano och mynta. Blåbärstry, smultron, bärhäggmispel. Piplök, gräslök, kantlök, skogslök. Plommon, persika och päron.Samtidigt börjar ett larm ljuda i mitt inre. Idyllradarn närmar sig tydligen ohälsosamma nivåer. Dags att skapa lite ordning, säger jag högt. Allt för att överrösta mina ivriga följeslagare, historiens alla herdediktare och romantiker. Vilket får mig att tänka på den ursprungligaste av idyller. I första Moseboken står det att läsa: ”Herren Gud planterade en trädgård österut, i Eden” där han ”lät alla slags träd växa upp ur marken, sådana som var ljuvliga att se på och goda att äta av”. Vilka var människorna som levde i detta paradis? De som sägs ha tagit ett bett av kunskapens frukt och därefter förvisats ut ur det. Och vilken kunskap var det egentligen de fick smak för?Ungefär 3000 år efter att denna berättelse nedtecknas, uppstår i västra England den moderna skogsträdgårdsrörelsen. Det är här Robert Hart, under 1980-talet, börjar odla mat med inspiration av lövskogen som ekosystem. Odlingsformen sprider sig snart till andra entusiaster. Till Sverige kommer den på allvar 2004, när Esbjörn Wandt och Arne Jansson anlägger Holma Skogsträdgård, i centrala Skåne.Men samtidigt som skogsträdgårdsrörelsen på många sätt är ny, är idéerna bakom uråldriga. Hart, som myntade begreppet ”forest gardening”, var till exempel tydlig med att han hämtade sin inspiration från småskaliga odlingar i de tropiska och subtropiska zonerna. Det vill säga från Afrika, Asien och Sydamerika. Han menade också att skogsträdgården har mycket gemensamt med mänsklighetens första odlingsförsök, i Mesopotamien, landet mellan floderna. Alltså floderna Eufrat och Tigris. Vilka av en händelse också är två av de floder som i första Moseboken utgör gränsen för Edens trädgård.Harts tankar bekräftas av David Graeber och David Wengrow i Början på allt: en ny historia om mänskligheten. I boken, som utgår från decennier av arkeologisk och antropologisk forskning, visar de att människans utvecklingshistoria, från att vara jägare och samlare till att driva industrijordbruk, inte varit fullt så rätlinjig som vi ofta föreställer oss. Istället för lagbunden utveckling från det enkla till det mer komplexa beskriver de en flertusenårig historia av lekfullhet, kreativitet och nyfiken pluralism, såväl gällande människans relationer till varandra som till odling.Fynden är tydliga: Det raka snitt i historien, som skildringen av Adams och Evas förvisning ur paradiset kan sägas gestalta, har inget vetenskapligt stöd. Men kanske kan det ändå finnas spår av sanning i berättelsen? Det är nämligen fullt möjligt att en plats som påminner om Edens trädgård en gång existerat, och att det var på denna plats som människan började odla. Men då inte odling som vi tänker på det idag, utan med vad Graeber och Wengrows kallar ”ett väldigt lättsamt sätt att odla grödor, där naturen får sköta det mesta av arbetet”.Det nya med skogsträdgårdar är alltså inte odlingsformen i sig, utan att erfarenheter från tropiska förhållanden nu också överförs till den tempererade zon där vi bor. Men hur fungerar det i praktiken? Idén bakom är enkel. Den utgår från frågan: Hur kan vi återskapa naturliga ekosystem som samtidigt ger ett överskott av ätliga växter och andra nyttoväxter? I det första stora verket på svenska, Philip Weiss och Annevi Sjöbergs Skogsträdgården: odla ätbart överallt, beskrivs hur detta kan ta sig uttryck:En skogsträdgårdsodlare börjar med att undersöka den lokala platsens förutsättningar, med fokus på sådant som vattentillgång, jordmån, temperaturskillnader och ljusmängd. Utifrån detta väljs vilka växter som planteras in. Viktigt att tänka på är att växterna inte ska konkurrera med varandra, utan istället dra nytta av varandras växtsätt. Därför anläggs skogsträdgårdar i upp till sju skikt, från rotväxter och lågväxande marktäckare till buskar och högväxande träd.Förutom kortsiktiga vinster, som mat, främjar skogsträdgården ett antal långsiktiga: ökad biologisk mångfald, minskad vattenåtgång och ökad kolinlagring. Till skillnad från konventionell odling, där jorden ofta ligger i full sol, samt vänds och harvas, lämnas skogsträdgårdens jord till största delen orörd. Det minskar risken för uttorkning, samt gör att rötter, svampar och mikroliv frodas. Vilket i sin tur leder till att mer av den koldioxid som fångas upp av växtligheten forslas ned under jord, där den blir kvar.Nu kanske du tänker: Borde inte alla skogar och trädgårdar då omvandlas till skogsträdgårdar? Riktigt så enkelt är det tyvärr inte. Världen behöver såväl de förra som de senare. Men utrymmet däremellan kanske inte med nödvändighet behöver bestå av hårdgjorda ytor eller höga stängsel. De skulle kanske istället, som i den agrara människans barndom, kunna ses som en lekplats? Där nya och gamla föreställningar om människans relation till varandra, andra arter och sina omgivningar får utmanas. En plats där vi kan mötas och tumla runt.När jag vandrar genom skogsträdgården här hemma på gården, är det just den känslan som överväldigar mig. Inte de enskilda detaljerna i anläggningen, utan helheten. Den organiska mångfalden. En upplevelse av att något pågår. Ett myllrande skapande.Och jag föreställer mig att det också var vad de första odlande människorna kände. De var inte enväldiga härskare över naturen, utan jämbördiga med den. Med allt som ovan och under jord var vid liv. Adams och Evas misstag var kanske inte att de åt av kunskapens frukt, utan att de bara fick smak för en sorts frukt – den som separerade dem från allt annat levande. I en skogsträdgård uppstår inte det problemet. Där dignar kunskapens frukter i varje skrymsle och vrå.Johan Landgrenpoet och litteraturvetare LitteraturDavid Graeber & David Wengrow: Början på allt: en ny historia om mänskligheten.

For the last couple of years, I have been going to Pawpaw Fest which my friend and neighbour Matt Soltys organizes. Matt Soltys, for those listeners who don't know yet, is The Urban Orchardist. He teaches me about fruit and nut trees and I help him try and sort out which insects are leaving their sign on the trees. But back to the point… Pawpaws. Asimina triloba. A fruit with a comeback story. Have you tried one yet? I bet most folks listening have. They are growing more and more, both literally on the land and metaphorically in all the surrounding hype. Is it worth the hype? Matt Soltys seems to think so. He is growing hundreds of them (I had to fact check this statement, and yes, it is true). We sat down to discuss Pawpaws, a bit about their ecology and about the assisted migration that likely allowed the Pawpaw to arrive in Southern Ontario. I really don't know much about the species but want to get as much info as I can as they are likely going to be seen on the landscape more frequently as people get excited about this peculiar fruit. Why the big leaves? How did they get here? What happens at Pawpaw Fest? Where is it? How do I get there? (Sunday October 6th, Simpler Thyme Organic Farm, 1749 Hwy 6, between Guelph and Hamilton.) For more info listen to the show or check out The Urban Orchardist instagram page.

REPEAT SHOW. David Graeber and David Wengrow are the co-authors of "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2021). "This is not a book. This is an intellectual feast. There is not a single chapter that does not (playfully) disrupt well-seated intellectual beliefs. It is deep, effortlessly iconoclastic, factually rigorous, and pleasurable to read." — Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Author, "The Black Swan." Tiokasin talks with co-author David Wengrow, a professor of comparative archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. He is a visiting professor at New York University. He is the author of three books, including, "What Makes Civilization?" David has conducted archaeological fieldwork in various parts of Africa and the Middle East. Co-author David Graeber (d. 9/2/2020) was a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics. He was the author of "Debt: The First 5,000 Years" and "Bullshit Jobs: A Theory," and was a contributor to Harper's Magazine, The Guardian and The Baffler. An iconic thinker and renowned activist, his early efforts in Zuccotti Park made Occupy Wall Street an era-defining movement.

In this podcast episode returning guest Peter Gray, retired professor of psychology at Boston College, makes an argument for why we should consider other ways of understanding and structuring learning in and outside of school. We talk about college and access to working life, possible alternative ways of learning an occupation, David Geary's evolutionary theory of biologically primary and secondary abilities, what we need to learn and when we need to learn it, what we can observe in kids who aren't taught in the conventional ways, kids who learn to read on their own or who learn the whole math curriculum in a couple of months in their late teens, how our expectations influence learning, consequences for not reading when society expects you to, how and when children learn to walk and what we do when they don't, whining in different cultures, the summer slide, and what to say when people complain that they wish that someone had forced them to learn something earlier in life, how children's independence and autonomy relates to their mental health, how we try to fix problems by taking away children's liberty and responsibility, why we should teach them about dangers instead of trying to get rid of them, and many other topics.  Even if you don't find yourself agreeing with all of Peter's arguments, we would love to hear more about what points he's making that you think are valid and worth considering. How can we let alternative views on education actually widen our current understanding of learning and schooling, instead of just assuming the worst about each other? Send un an email to larsogpaal@gmail.com, we'll be thankful to every kind of criticism, feedback and suggestions of further explorations and interviews that we should do on these topics.  See more of Peter's writings on his Substack https://petergray.substack.com/ Here's his 2017 article about the summer slide, mentioned in the episode: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/freedom-learn/201707/facts-and-fiction-about-the-so-called-summer-slide   Mentions and recommendations from the episode:  Jim Rietmulder, 2019.

In today's powerful episode I speak with Elise Loehnen, author of the bestselling book, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good. Elise is also the host of the Pulling the Thread Podcast, and prior to her podcast she was chief content officer of Goop. Today we're talking about the Gluttony chapter of Elise's book, and how it relates to the patriarchal system we live in. Elise starts by describing the origins of that system, which has come to define our worldview, whether we realize it or not. While it's started as a hierarchical dominance-based external system, it's become an internal system that we all perpetuate, often unconsciously. We explore how the system specifically plays into our relationship with food and our bodies. Elise describes how the “sin” of gluttony isn't about extreme over-indulgence but rather about our moralizing of food. It's a policing of what we eat and how our bodies look in order to conform and express our goodness. While we're deeply influenced by powers outside of us (think diet culture) we also perpetuate the system internally. We police OURSELVES in an effort to be “good,” and to feel like we have control. However, this need for control disconnects us from real pleasure and from our true selves. We talk about how to get out of this giant web of patriarchal conditioning to gain sovereignty for ourselves.I think you're going to learn SO MUCH from this episode and begin to see how you can reclaim your own power and your own pleasure this holiday season.

Specialitou archeologa Davida Wengrowa je stavět omílaná tvrzení o dějinách lidstva na hlavu. V knize Dawn of Everything, kterou napsal s Davidem Graeberem, je terčem představa, že s civilizací nutně přichází hierarchie. Co když mohou takzvaní lovci a sběrači nabídnout demokracii víc, než starověké Řecko? V rozhovoru jsme řešili nenápadnou historickou každodennost vymazanou uctíváním vladařů, sociální experimenty původních obyvatel Ameriky i pozoruhodné nálezy na Moravě.Všechny díly podcastu Otevřené hlavy můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Dit keer bespreken we het boek Piratenverlichting van David Graeber met de ondertitel, Zeerovers, zelfbestuur en de verborgen oorsprong van de verlichting. Het origineel is in 2019 gepubliceerd, deze Nederlandse vertaling in 2023. Graeber is in 2020 overleden en was antropoloog. We lazen eerder het geweldige boek Het begin van alles van David Graeber en David Wengrow. Graeber heeft veel tijd doorgebracht op Madagaskar en onderzoek gedaan naar de rol van dit eiland, de cultuur het bestuur en de piraten in de oorsprong van de verlichting. Het eiland ligt ten oosten van Zuid Afrika en heeft een oppervlakte dat groter is dan Frankrijk. Een eiland met een rijke geschiedenis omdat het eeuwen een stop was voor schepen op doorreis rondom kaap de goede hoop. Achterin het boek vind je een tijdlijn van de piraten en de verlichting zodat je de connectie kunt zien. In zijn boek het begin van alles beschrijft hij hoe ook de oorspronkelijke bewoners van Noord Amerika en antropologen een rol speelde bij de ontwikkeling van de verlichting. Voor dit boek heeft Graeber veel literatuur onderzoek gedaan. Een uitgebreid overzicht van je achterin het boek Een interessant boek waarin je meer leert over het mogelijke ontstaan van de Verlichting in Europa door een samenleving in een mix van bezoekers en de bewoners van het eiland. Waar de organisatie en besluitvorming van een piratenschip wordt overgenomen op land en vrouwen een belangrijke rol spelen via de piraten. De verlichting blijkt vooral gebruikt voor uitbuiting en vernietiging, in eigen land en andere continenten net als de rol van de rouw werd verwijderd uit de geschiedenis.  Het boek bestaat uit drie delen en een conclusie. Deel I: Piraten en schijnkoningen in het noordoosten van Madagaskar Deel II: De opkomst van de piraten gezien vanuit de Malagassiërs Deel III: Piratenverlichting Conclusies Piraten en schijnkoningen in het noordoosten van Madagaskar Probleem van de piraten was dat ze buiten veroverden maar deze nergens goed konden omzetten in geld. Op Madagaskar werd het bezit gedeeld met de vrouwen die ze kregen aangeboden van de inwoners. Door hun dochters aan te bieden maakten ze de piraten onderdeel van de familie en nam de kans af op oorlog en geweld. Het beeld van de Europeanen was bij de Malagassische bewoners vergelijkbaar met piraten, gewelddadig, ze veroverden, onruststokers, om zo slaven mee te kunnen nemen. De opkomst van de piraten gezien vanuit de Malagassiërs Hierin vertelt Graeber over de kabary (vergaderingen) voor consensusvorming tussen dorpen en clans. Dit soort overleggen konden dagen duren. Soms werd er een oorlogshoofd gekozen om het probleem  op te lossen. Vrouwen lijken ruilobjecten, maar later meer handelaren en soort van magiërs met allerlei rituelen en middelen om mannen te verleiden en vermoorden. Piratenverlichting Conclusies Het piratenschip in de 17e eeuw had een democratische organisatie. De piraten deden wat ze zelf wilden alleen in gevechtssituaties was er een duidelijke leider, de kapitein. Aan het begin van de 18e eeuw heerst Ratimilaho over een groot deel va noord oost Madagaskar. De zoon van een Malagassische prinses en een Engelse piraat. Hij regeerde volgens dezelfde regels als op een piratenschip. Graeber verwacht dat Montesquieu geïnspireerd was door deze vorm van samenleving op Madagaskar, met veel vrijheid en gelijkheid. De Malagassische vrouw was in staat om te besturen via de piraten. Ze dreven ook handel met de piraten. In de verhalen die de mannen meenamen van Madagaskar naar Europa werd de rol van de vrouw verwijderd. We moeten zijn eerste boek Schuld: de eerste 5000 jaar ook lezen, om te kijken naar de oorsprong van geld en de rol die het nu heeft. Het boek Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner? van Katrine Marcal staat nu ook op de lijst door het voorwoord van Joris Luyendijk.  Waar het in het Begin van Alles ging over Kandiaronk en de Wendat-gemeenschap gaat het...

Was life for our ancient ancestors brutish and short or did they exist as noble savages, free and living in harmony with nature and each other? Many of our assumptions about ancient societies stem from Renaissance theories about how society should be organised and what civilisation is. Dan is joined by David Wengrow, Professor of Comparative Archaeology at University College London and co-author of 'The Dawn of Everything' to challenge some of these assumptions and show that they were founded on critiques of European society. David shines a light on the great variety of ancient civilisations, the different models of society they offer and how that might influence us today.Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world-renowned historians like Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsley, Matt Lewis, Tristan Hughes and more.Get 50% off your first 3 months with code DANSNOW.

Using real-life examples and historical evidence, French anthropologist Philippe Descola aims to understand the unique characteristics of communities that exist outside of modern societies. These communities have often been misunderstood because they were mistakenly compared to nation-states. However, Descola argues that we should examine the components and relationships within these communities based on how they perceive the world. By doing so, we can challenge the Eurocentric and human-centric view of social structures, which rely on Western ideas of progress and functionality.

What is the place of humans in history, and how can we play a role in deciding our fate? In this talk, Fightback editor Joel Bergman provides a Marxist critique of the book The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow, and discusses the relationship between free will and determinism.

David Graeber and David Wengrow's anthropological opus, The Dawn of Everything, claims to offer an entirely new, radical view of the development of human society (implicitly: one that knocks down Marx and Engels' historical materialism). This is no small task, but is the book as earth-shattering as the immodest title suggests? Despite making waves in […]
