Podcasts about Max Weber

Antik Yunan'dan günümüze uzanan unutulmuş bir kavram: Otium. Eksik Olan programında Alp Kozanoğlu ve Ömer Çeşit, Jean-Miguel Pire'in "Halkın Otiyumu" kitabını değerlendirirken boş zamanın, düşünmenin, felsefenin ve demokrasinin ilişkisini tartışıyor. Programda Antik Yunan'daki Skole kavramından Roma İmparatorluğu'na, Hristiyanlık döneminden kapitalizme, dijital çağdan sosyal medya algoritmalarına kadar uzanan geniş bir tarihsel ve sosyolojik yolculuk yapılıyor. Boş zaman gerçekten kayboldu mu? Yoksa insanın iç dünyası mı boşaldı? Günümüz insanı neden sürekli meşgul ama anlam arayışından uzak? Dijital çağ, dikkat ekonomisi ve sosyal medya bireyin düşünme kapasitesini nasıl etkiliyor? Jean-Miguel Pire'in "Halkın Otiyumu" kitabı üzerinden yapılan bu değerlendirmede; demokrasi, felsefe, eğitim sistemi, kişisel gelişim kültürü, kapitalizm, Foucault, Byung-Chul Han, Max Weber ve modern toplumun krizleri ele alınıyor.

In Part 2, we bring Max Weber's speech about Science as a Vocation to the present day and show that many of the same themes and concerns Weber express are still relevant. Modern technologies such as artificial intelligence may have changed academia in compelling ways, but the worthiness of scientific pursuit remains a valid concern.

We return once more to Max Weber and look at one of his most important and noteworthy speeches, “Science as a Vocation.” The speech includes a number of major themes such as what is the worth of science, what are the roles of junior academics as they establish themselves as scientists, and what constitutes proper teaching. Controversial in its day, but required reading for many graduate programs today.

Frédéric Samama est auteur de L'énigme de l'inaction climatique et pionnier de la finance verte et alors que nous vivons un de ces épisodes de canicule aujourd'hui, il m'a semblé essentiel d'essayer de comprendre pourquoi nous savons depuis 70 ans et nous ne faisons rien. En 2009, il a monté le premier centre de recherche mondial sur la finance et le climat, lancé les premiers indices low carbone et créé la première coalition d'investisseurs à la COP21. Et pourtant, son livre ne parle pas de finance. Il parle de cerveau, d'histoire, de philosophie et d'une question qui l'obsède depuis cinq ans : pourquoi, sur un problème que tout le monde connaît, que l'on a créé, et qui nous menace en tant qu'espèce, on n'arrive pas à bouger ?Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de neurosciences cognitives, d'inférence bayésienne, de moments fromages dans l'histoire de l'humanité, et du lien entre capitalisme, néolibéralisme et perte de nos réflexes moraux. J'ai questionné Frédéric sur l'overview effect des astronautes, sur Lévinas et la philosophie du visage, sur Jean Cavaillès et la résistance, et sur ce que tout ça dit de notre capacité à réinventer nos représentations du monde face à l'urgence climatique.Citations marquantes"Sur un problème où tout le monde est au courant, qu'on a créé, et qui nous menace en tant qu'espèce — pourquoi diable, on n'arrive pas à se mettre en mouvement ?" (0:29:00)"Le capitalisme, c'est comment tu fais vivre des gens ensemble en dehors de règles morales et religieuses. Et maintenant qu'on fait face à un défi moral, qui est le défi du climat, on ne sait plus faire." (0:19:30)"Face à l'enjeu moral, c'est l'action qui doit prévaloir — et pas la réflexion de est-ce qu'on est optimiste, négatif, et ainsi de suite." (1:06:44)"On a voulu détendre le lien social. En cas de problème, il n'y a plus personne, et donc il n'y a plus de devoir — on ne demande que des droits." (0:26:30)"Le climat, ce n'est plus seulement la plus grosse menace. C'est aussi la plus belle opportunité de réapprendre à vivre ensemble, nous, les 8 milliards de personnes sur Terre." (1:12:00)Big Ideas1. Notre cerveau construit des modèles à partir de signaux — et s'y enferme L'inférence bayésienne selon Stanislas Dehaene : le cerveau observe des signaux et fabrique des lois du monde. Agassi qui lit le service de Becker, le bébé qui comprend la gravité, le rat dans le labyrinthe — tous fonctionnent pareil. Le problème : une fois le modèle établi, on arrête de le mettre à jour. On entre en surconfiance. C'est exactement ce qui se passe avec le climat : on sait, mais on ne change pas de modèle. (0:02:37)2. L'histoire humaine s'est organisée autour de "moments fromages" — et le climat en exige un nouveau Deux grandes ruptures : l'agriculture et la science moderne (accès aux ressources naturelles), puis le néolibéralisme (accès aux ressources humaines mondiales). À chaque fois, l'humanité a réorganisé ses représentations. Le climat est la première fois qu'on nous demande de limiter l'accès aux ressources — un défi sans précédent pour des cerveaux conditionnés à l'expansion. (0:07:43)3. Le capitalisme a délibérément mis la morale hors jeu Au XVIIe siècle, la grande question était : comment faire vivre des gens ensemble sans passer par la morale ou la religion, qui créent des guerres ? La réponse : l'intérêt personnel. Adam Smith, Montesquieu, Hirschman ont construit un système où l'égoïsme profite à la société. Ça a marché. Mais le climat est un problème moral (les plus faibles meurent en premier) — et on n'a plus les réflexes pour ça. (0:14:55)4. L'overview effect comme signal de bascule possible Les astronautes dans l'espace deviennent poètes. Ils voient la planète fragile, belle, vivante. Frédéric propose ces trois perceptions comme signal capable de réécrire nos représentations. La fragilité déclenche la responsabilité (Lévinas). La beauté prépare à la morale (Kant). Le vivant nous réintègre dans la nature après des siècles d'extraction. Pas un programme politique — une hypothèse sur comment les cerveaux humains peuvent changer. (0:39:00)5. Face à un enjeu moral, la question n'est plus l'espoir — c'est l'action Jean Cavaillès, philosophe-mathématicien résistant, incarne la réponse. En mai 1941, zéro espoir objectif. Et pourtant il agit — parce que face à un enjeu moral, la question n'est plus "quelle est la probabilité ?" mais "quelle est mon obligation ?". C'est la même logique que d'appeler les pompiers pour quelqu'un qui fait une crise cardiaque dont on sait qu'elle sera fatale. On agit. Pas parce qu'on espère, mais parce qu'on doit. (1:04:06)Questions poséesQu'est-ce que l'anecdote d'Agassi et Becker révèle sur le fonctionnement du cerveau humain ?Quels sont les grands "moments fromages" de l'histoire de l'humanité, et où en sommes-nous aujourd'hui ?Comment définirais-tu le capitalisme à son origine — et en quoi diffère-t-il du néolibéralisme ?Pourquoi le néolibéralisme a-t-il dissous le lien social, et quelles en sont les conséquences concrètes ?Sur un problème aussi connu et aussi grave que le climat, pourquoi l'humanité n'arrive-t-elle pas à se mettre en mouvement ?Qu'est-ce que l'inférence bayésienne nous apprend sur notre incapacité à mettre à jour nos modèles face au climat ?Qu'est-ce que les astronautes et l'overview effect peuvent nous apprendre sur comment changer nos représentations collectives ?Comment Lévinas et Kant peuvent-ils nous aider à repenser notre rapport au problème climatique ?Qui était Jean Cavaillès, et pourquoi son histoire est-elle une réponse au problème de l'inaction ?Si le signal qui change nos représentations n'est pas encore arrivé, qu'est-ce qui pourrait en tenir lieu à l'échelle de nos sociétés ?Références citéesPersonnes et penseursStanislas Dehaene — chaire de sciences cognitives, Collège de France (0:04:00)André Agassi / Boris Becker — anecdote du service et de la langue (0:02:37)Max Weber — thèse sur la naissance du capitalisme (0:13:00)Albert Hirschman — économiste, auteur sur l'origine du capitalisme (0:13:00)Marcel Enaf — sur le commerce pré-capitaliste (0:17:29)Machiavel, Spinoza, Galilée, Montesquieu, Adam Smith — généalogie du capitalisme (0:15:25)Milton Friedman — article dans le New York Times sur le néolibéralisme (0:19:54)Emmanuel Lévinas — philosophe lituanien, "le visage d'autrui" et l'éthique (0:42:44)Emmanuel Kant — la beauté, le désintérêt et la morale (0:44:30)Michel Serres — "on mesure l'ampleur d'un problème à la durée qu'il a mise à se former" (0:33:34)Robin Dunbar — nombre de 150, limite de coordination des groupes humains (0:34:22)Hannah Arendt et Karl Polanyi — fascisme comme réaction au libéralisme du XIXe siècle (1:07:50)Henri Bergson — envoyé aux États-Unis pour convaincre Wilson d'entrer en guerre (0:53:43)Président Wilson — discours d'entrée en guerre au nom de valeurs morales, 1917 (0:54:30)Jean Cavaillès — philosophe-mathématicien résistant, fusillé (1:02:11)Raymond Aron — "Si Jean Cavaillès avait vécu, j'aurais dit moins de bêtises" (1:04:06)Pierre Brossolette, Jean Moulin — résistants évoqués en parallèle (1:05:00)Concepts et événementsInférence bayésienne — mécanisme cognitif de construction de modèles (0:47:50)Overview effect — phénomène de bascule perceptuelle chez les astronautes (0:39:30)Théorie des "moments fromages" — concept central du livre (0:07:43)Bulle des tulipes — première crise financière spéculative, XVIIe siècle (0:50:23)COP21 — coalition d'investisseurs créée par Frédéric (0:27:33)Passage à l'an 2000 (bug Y2K) — contre-exemple de mobilisation rapide (0:30:00)Protocole de Montréal / couche d'ozone — résolu en 18 mois (0:51:43)Timestamps clés00:00 Introduction — Et si on se réjouissait à nouveau du futur ?

Qu'est-ce qui est fondamentalement différent avec le climat ? 53:43 Bergson à la Maison-Blanche La France envoie le philosophe Henri Bergson convaincre Wilson d'entrer en guerre. Il réussit. Ce que ça dit du pouvoir des valeurs morales en politique. 1:00:14 Je ne cherche pas à avoir de l'espoir Frédéric explique pourquoi la question n'est pas l'espoir — avec mai 1941 comme exemple. 1:02:11 Jean Cavaillès — le héros oublié de la résistance Fils de militaire, philosophe-mathématicien, major de Normale Sup tout seul. Et résistant. Fusillé dans une fosse commune. 1:06:29 La crise cardiaque et l'obligation morale "La probabilité que tu survives est nulle. Et pourtant, tu vas tout faire pour me sauver." Ce que ça dit du rapport entre morale et action. 1:14:54 La solution concrète : recommencer à regarder le vivant Pourquoi enseigner la vie des animaux et des plantes à l'école changerait plus de choses que n'importe quelle taxe carbone.

Paris, 1945. Alors que la guerre vient tout juste de se terminer, un cadavre est découvert dans un hôtel borgne de Pigalle. L'assassin, arrêté sur les lieux, est un vagabond, dont la dernière adresse était le camp d'Auschwitz.L'homme qu'il a tué d'une balle dans la tête était un antiquaire véreux, un petit escroc sans envergure qui aurait été membre de « la Carlingue », la Gestapo française. C'est en tout cas ce que son assassin affirme. Mais rien ne le prouve, si ce n'est sa parole…L'affaire est confiée à Max Weber, un flic désabusé que sa hiérarchie pousse à classer l'affaire. Personne n'a envie que ce fait-divers ravive les blessures de la guerre. Personne sauf Weber, que cette cause perdue sort de sa torpeur. Il va creuser. Et ce qu'il va découvrir est au-delà de l'imaginable…L'Auteur, Gabriel Katz est notre invité par téléphoneHébergé par Audiomeans.

Coming soon! We return once more to Max Weber and look at one of his most important and noteworthy speeches, “Science as a Vocation,” delivered in 1918 at Munich University. This speech may be seen as a text assigned to rising graduate students in many fields, owing to its exhortations to go beyond researching and writing about important knowledge and consider the ethical and moral implications of that research.

De president van de Algemene Rekenkamer, Pieter Duisenberg, presenteerde deze week zijn jaarlijkse verantwoordingsonderzoek over de €450 miljard euro die de rijksoverheid uitgeeft. Met deze keer daarbij ook een ‘hoogrisicolijst'. Zo kunnen Kamers en kabinet zélf zien bij welke grote beleidsthema's politieke, economische en maatschappelijke doelen op lange termijn voortgang gemaakt wordt en waar het stagneert of zelfs spaak loopt. In gesprek met Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger stelt hij: "Belangrijke doelen raken uit zicht. En zelfs doelen voor de korte termijn. Dat is kostbare stilstand, want niks doen veroorzaakt extra kosten en tegenvallers in de jaren die komen. Stagnatie is nooit gratis." *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Uit de hooggestemde plannen en geringe prestaties van het kabinet-Schoof trekt Duisenberg de conclusie dat een realistische overheid wenselijk en noodzakelijk is. Een overheid die duidelijk is over ambities en daar doelstellingen bij formuleert. Die ook realistisch aangeeft 'dit kan en dat dan dus niet'. Die slagvaardigheid en eenvoud vooropzet door te werken met taskforces die verkokering doorbreken en daarmee doorbraken mogelijk maakt, die al te lang op zich laten wachten. De aanzet met zulke taskforces in het kabinet-Jetten biedt perspectief. De Rekenkamer biedt hen dan ook gretig handreikingen voor het 'realistisch plannen' van beleid en voor duidelijkheid bij de doelen die zij nastreven. Een helder onderscheid in begrotingen tussen kasuitgaven en investeringen. Nu loopt dat allemaal door elkaar heen: “Een beetje zoals een student zijn studiebeurs gebruikt." In die 'hoogrisicolijst' staat de houdbaarheid van de overheidsfinanciën zelf op 1. Duisenberg kan zijn irritatie niet onderdrukken over het gebrek aan politieke moed. Ondoelmatige fiscale regelingen - die dus niet doen waarvoor ze bedoeld zijn – belopen inmiddels € 89 miljard. Sanering daarvan levert € 35 miljard op. En dat zou ook nog eens meteen het veel te complexe belastingstelsel vereenvoudigen. Voorstellen voor sanering liggen al een tijd op tafel. "Maar hier gebeurt niks, terwijl grote opgaven wachten op doorbraken en lange termijn investeringen." Bij het woningtekort noteert hij dat de helft van het geld dat beschikbaar was voor woningbouw, ook voor een extra snelle aanpak via flexwoningen, op de plank is blijven liggen. "Hierdoor is het tekort aan huizen nog verder vergroot." Bij het stikstofbeleid heeft het vooruitschuiven van beslissingen grote gevolgen. "De maatschappelijke kosten zijn zo'n € 15 miljard per jaar waarin geen concreet beleid wordt ingezet. Het kabinet kwam zijn beloften niet na." Bij de voorgenomen krimp van de rijksoverheid noemt Duisenberg de uitkomst teleurstellend. Het kabinet-Schoof wilde in het coalitieakkoord 22% minder ambtenaren. Dat werd vertaald naar ‘een kaasschaaf-operatie’ van € 1 miljard. “Een plan voor de lange termijn is niet bekend. Wij zien geen sturing door de minister van BZK”, noteert de Rekenkamer droog. Minister Pieter Heerma moet opnieuw beginnen. Bij de Wajong-uitkeringen kan voor 1 op de 8 dossiers - binnen een bedrag van ruim 4 miljard - niet vastgesteld worden of de uitgaven rechtmatig zijn. "De minister van Sociale Zaken heeft niet het inzicht in de omvang en onzekerheden daarvoor." Duisenberg benadrukt dat op allerlei beleidsterreinen wel degelijk voortgang is geboekt. 5000 mensen erbij in de Nationale Zorgreserve bewijst dat, evenals de enorme krachtsinspanning bij nieuwe investeringen in Defensie. Toch gaat juist bij de nationale veiligheidsstrategie nog te veel mis. "Er is geen fraude- en anti-corruptiebeleid daar, gelet op die grote investeringen is dit een zorgelijk feit", terwijl de beveiliging van grote militaire objecten nog steeds niet op orde is. "Het Rijk is in een aantal opzichten nog niet klaar voor een acute toename van dreiging." Bij de bescherming van infrastructuur op de Noordzee komt dat door verkokering en ‘bestuurlijke impasse’. Bij de screening door de IND op terrorisme blijkt 'het strengste asielbeleid ooit' niet binnen de beloofde twee weken, maar pas binnen twee jaar te kunnen leveren. Volgens de Rekenkamer laten beide Kamers nog heel wat kansen laten liggen om hun parlementaire bevoegdheden en controletaken goed te benutten. Van de vele gedegen evaluaties door wordt weinig gebruik gemaakt. Voor de nieuwe taskforces van het kabinet zouden Tweede-Kamercommissies minder verkokerd moeten opereren. "We hebben een lerende overheid nodig. Successen uit het verleden kunnen ons inspireren. Hoe Thorbecke zo'n enorm project als de Nieuwe Waterweg en het Noordzeekanaal tot stand wist te brengen. Dat koste zes keer meer dan begroot, maar het levert ons nog steeds welvaart op. En toen niet alles meteen lukte was er geen afrekencultuur, maar werd scherp geanalyseerd wat er mis ging en daar leerden ze van.” *** Verder lezen Het rapport van de Rekenkamer En de bijlagen *** Verder luisteren 547 – Knopen doorhakken, hervormen en stevig investeren: het formatie-advies van Jeroen Dijsselbloem en Pieter Duisenberg 554 - Vooruit durven kijken, net als 50 jaar geleden met Almere 533 – Een nieuw belastingstelsel.

铁路、钢铁、石油 —— 150年前，一批工业大亨用这些东西重塑了美国。今天，换成了算法、平台和 AI，历史的剧情，是否真的在重演？ 19 世纪末，跨大陆铁路的出现彻底改变了美国：统一的市场、标准时区、现代公司制度、金融市场的崛起，还有财富向少数人的剧烈集中。那是一个被称为「镀金时代」的年代 —— 表面金光闪闪，内里却也有赤裸裸的政商勾连、劳工剥削，以及一场迟来的社会反弹。它最终推动了反垄断立法、参议员直选，乃至整个现代民主制度的修正。 这一期节目，我们邀请到老朋友马啸老师返场，从铁路出发，聊一聊镀金时代究竟发生了什么，那段历史与今天的 AI 时代有哪些惊人的相似，又在哪里出现了新的变量。 本期人物 马啸，北京大学政府管理学院长聘副教授、博士生导师 徐涛，声动活泼联合创始人 主要话题 [08:03] 铁路如何重塑美国：从标准时区的发明到现代公司制度的诞生 [18:09] 政府赠地、土地财政与一哄而上的铁路泡沫 [23:04] 由铁路拉来的新国家想象与民族自豪感 [33:48] 铁路公司为什么要雇佣西点军校的毕业生 [39:28] 美国的早期游说：铁路大亨如何用免费乘车券贿赂政治家 [45:57] 扒粪运动与制度反弹：镀金时代后期美国的渐进式改革 [54:46] 从铁路大亨到硅谷巨头，历史正在再一次重演吗 延伸阅读 Richard White 的相关文章： 《The Gilded Age holds lessons for today, says Richard White》 《If 19th-century plutocrats are dinosaurs, we're now in Jurassic Park》 康内留斯·范德比尔特（Cornelius Vanderbilt，1794—1877） 一位出身纽约、有着荷兰血统的工业家、慈善家，他依靠内陆水运贸易致富，并逐步取得优势地位，随后大力投资美国快速发展的铁路产业，进而显著改变了美国的地理格局。范德比尔特是美国镀金时代工商业狂飙突进的象征，同时也常被描绘为「强盗男爵」的代表人物。 科利斯·波特·亨廷顿（Collis Potter Huntington ，1821－1900） 一位美国实业家和铁路大亨。他是西部铁路四大巨头之一，他们投资了西奥多·朱达的构想，修建了中央太平洋铁路 ，这是美国第一条横贯大陆铁路的一部分。 卡耐基（Andrew Carnegie，1835-1919） 苏格兰裔美国钢铁大亨，镀金时代最具代表性的财富人物之一。他创建的卡耐基钢铁公司垄断了美国钢铁市场，后以约 4.8 亿美元出售给 JP 摩根，成为当时历史上最大的商业交易。晚年将大部分财富捐出，资助兴建了遍布全美的公共图书馆和卡耐基音乐厅，提出「在巨富中死去是一种耻辱」的著名论断。 洛克菲勒（John D. Rockefeller，1839-1937） 美国石油大亨，标准石油公司创始人。通过垄断炼油、管道和铁路运输，一度控制美国 90%以上的石油市场。1911年，标准石油公司被美国最高法院以违反反垄断法为由强制拆分，成为美国反垄断历史上的标志性案例。他也是现代慈善事业的奠基人之一，创立了洛克菲勒基金会。 马克斯·韦伯（Max Weber，1864-1920） 德国社会学家，现代社会科学的奠基人之一。他提出的「官僚制」概念，描述了以专业分工、层级管理、规章流程为核心的现代组织形态——而铁路公司正是他眼中这种理性化官僚制的最佳范本。他的思想至今仍是理解现代国家与企业组织的重要框架。 镀金时代（Gilded Age） 指美国内战结束后约1870至1890年代的历史时期，由作家马克·吐温命名。「镀金」暗指这个时代表面光鲜，内里问题重重——工业化与铁路扩张带来了空前的财富积累，却也伴随着严重的贫富分化、政商勾连与劳工剥削。这一时期美国超越欧洲成为世界第一大经济体，也为此后的反垄断运动和制度改革埋下了伏笔。 太平洋铁路法案（Pacific Railway Act，1862） 美国内战期间由林肯总统签署的联邦立法，授权修建横贯北美大陆的跨洲铁路，并向铁路公司提供大规模土地赠送和政府债券担保。这部法案正式开启了美国西部大开发的序幕，也催生了镀金时代的铁路热潮与随之而来的金融泡沫。 扒粪运动（Muckraking） 19世纪末20世纪初兴起于美国的调查性新闻运动。一批记者和作家通过深度报道，揭露铁路大亨、石油巨头对政治的操控以及恶劣的劳工条件，引发广泛的社会反响。这场运动直接推动了多项重要改革立法，也奠定了现代调查新闻学的传统。「扒粪」一词来自西奥多·罗斯福总统对这批记者的戏称。 托拉斯（Trust） 镀金时代企业垄断的核心组织形式。由于当时美国各州法律限制外州公司在本州经营，铁路和石油公司发展出「信托」这一法律结构——将不同州的公司股权集中交由同一批受托人控制，从而绕开州际限制实现跨地域垄断。托拉斯的泛滥最终引发了公众对垄断的强烈反弹，推动了1890年《谢尔曼反垄断法》的出台，也是今天「反垄断」概念的历史起点。 给声东击西投稿 声东击西正在密切关注中东战局及其带来的影响，所以如果你所在的行业或公司，正在受到霍尔木兹海峡封锁的影响，欢迎向我们投稿，你的声音对我们非常重要。 投稿入口 你也可以直接通过邮箱直接联系节目组：kexuan@shengfm.cn 「Knock Knock 世界」 小白鼠、猴子......曾经必做的动物实验，在发生哪些变化？https://sourl.co/sTmsee 在「Knock Knock 世界」里，听到全球新鲜事，还能成为「全球观察员」，报选题、参加选题会。2026 年的节目正在持续更新。 加入我们 声动活泼团队目前正在招聘内容监制、商业运营经理、商业发展经理和部分实习生，如果你也对播客行业的内容制作和商务运营感兴趣，欢迎投递！ 到详情点击招聘入口：加入声动活泼（在招职位速览） 幕后制作 监制：可宣 后期：赛德 运营：George 设计：饭团 实习生：Jean 商务合作 声动活泼商业化小队，点击链接可直达商务会客厅（商务会客厅链接：https://sourl.cn/QDhnEc ），也可发送邮件至 business@shengfm.cn 联系我们。 关于声动活泼 「用声音碰撞世界」，声动活泼致力于为人们提供源源不断的思考养料。 我们还有这些播客：不止金钱、跳进兔子洞第三季、声东击西、声动早咖啡、What's Next｜科技早知道、反潮流俱乐部、泡腾 VC、商业WHY酱 欢迎在即刻、微博等社交媒体上与我们互动，搜索 声动活泼 即可找到我们。 也欢迎你写邮件和我们联系，邮箱地址是：ting@sheng.fm 获取更多和声动活泼有关的讯息，你也可以扫码添加声小音，在节目之外和我们保持联系！ Special Guest: 马啸.

Veinte años después del estreno de la primera entrega —que se convirtió, sin razones evidentes, en película de culto—, regresan los mismos protagonistas, el mismo director y la misma guionista para una secuela que promete ser disruptiva y termina siendo, en el fondo, profundamente conservadora. En este episodio de Películas e Ideología sometemos El Diablo viste a la moda 2 a una lectura ideológica desde la Teoría Crítica.Discutimos:— La crisis del periodismo como anzuelo. La película abre con el despido de Andy Sachs en plena crisis del periodismo, pero abandona el tema casi de inmediato. ¿Es una crítica seria a la economía de la atención, a la lógica del content, a la absorción del periodismo por las redes sociales? ¿O es apenas un guiño superficial para concederle al espectador una falsa sensación de profundidad crítica?— Los tres tipos de dominación de Max Weber aplicados al film. Miranda Priestly como autoridad carismática en decadencia, sometida cada vez más a la dominación legal-burocrática (recursos humanos, la cultura de la cancelación, McKinsey optimizando la redacción) y rodeada por herederos multimillonarios que encarnan otras formas de legitimación. ¿Es Miranda soberana o marioneta de un acuerdo entre cuatro billonarios?— El personaje de Meryl Streep como reflejo del artista pleno, obsesionado con la producción artística y no con el dinero —una figura que, como los aristócratas frente al ascenso burgués, asiste a su propia obsolescencia ante un capitalismo que reduce la alta costura a retail.— La continuidad estructural entre el carisma de la jefa y el cálculo del capital financiero. Más allá del relato de redención que ofrece la película —la empleada salva a la jefa, todos reman juntos— defendemos que la caída no golpea por igual a Miranda y a Andy. La supuesta crítica al nuevo capitalismo financiero termina restaurando, de manera nostálgica, el orden anterior.— La caricatura de los nuevos multimillonarios (la sátira de Elon Musk, el heredero sin habitus aristocrático) frente a la figura redentora de la ex esposa "casi reina retirada" que ama el buen periodismo: una solución ideológica que añora un mundo previo a las redes sociales sin tocar las condiciones estructurales.— Y la pregunta sociológica que nos sigue intrigando: ¿por qué la primera película, estrenada en 2006, se convirtió en objeto de culto generacional? #eldiablovistealamoda #ideología #moda

This is an expanded version of the supplement from the original Episode 6 on Max Weber's Bureaucracy. This release includes both the original supplement from Dmitrijs along with an extended commentary from Tom to cover contemporary views on bureaucracy since the original episode's January 2016 release.

Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt und Stanley Tucci schlüpfen zwanzig Jahre später – und von der fortschreitenden Zeit offenbar unberührt – in ihre altbewährten Rollen, um „Der Teufel trägt Prada“ fortzusetzen. Kaum ein Film wurde derart sehnsüchtig erwartet, das Ergebnis enttäuscht jedoch. Die Leichtigkeit ist dahin, schwerfällig manövriert Regisseur David Frankel die Figuren von einer Wiedersehensszene zur nächsten, um danach einen müden Plot um die Kapitalgeber der Zeitschrift „Runway“ zu inszenieren. Miranda ist zwar noch immer Chefredakteurin, doch ihr Handlungsspielraum ist erheblich eingeschränkt. Was damals originell und neu war, kann nun nur noch als Vintage durchgehen.

In this release, we take a retrospective look at Weber's famous work and our original episode. How has our views about bureaucracy changed over the past decade (2016-when the original Weber episode was released) or century (1918-when the speech was delivered).

This is an edited re-release of our Episode 6, Part 2 on Max Weber's bureaucracy, originally from January 2016. Next week, we will provide an additional discussion where we bring Weber's ideas to contemporary times.

We are revisiting an older episode, our Episode 6 on Weber's bureaucracy. The original episode explored the work objectively, trying to understand how Weber was encouraging the use of rational rules and hierarchical systems to foster greater stability in society rather than efficiency. But it never seemed to happen as bureaucracies became a dominant organizational form. By re-reading Weber through the lens of institutional logics, we hope to better understand why this is the case. This week, we release an edited version of Part 1 of the original episode.

Weber, Domination and forms of legitimate authority.This is not all encompassing lecture on Max Weber but merely a glimpse of his ideas

Coming soon! We will re-examine one of our earlier episodes which deserves another look. Weber's chapter on the meaning of bureaucracy (Episode 6) remains one of the most popular episodes on the program, but given how bureaucracy has become so dimly viewed, we wanted to give it another look with fresh eyes. Is there something we missed as bureaucracies formed?

Potýkají se západní společnosti s leností, anebo naopak žijeme ve světě, který fetišizoval práci? Tyto dvě protichůdné teze se střetávají v samém středu naší společnosti. Když se podíváme na počet odpracovaných hodin, zjistíme, že Češi pracují výrazně méně než například v šedesátých letech, před zavedením pětidenního pracovního týdne. Přesto má řada lidí pocit, že pracujeme intenzivněji než kdy dříve. A možná je to v jistém smyslu pravda – protože práce není jen otázkou času, ale i energie, soustředění, únavy a nasazení, které nelze vyjádřit v hodinách.Mnozí filosofové i sociologové si všímají, že vedle rostoucí citlivosti na stres – a tedy i rychlejšího pocitu přetížení – se proměnil i sám rámec práce. Dávno už neplatí představa work-life balance. Spíše žijeme ve světě work-life blending, kde se volný čas vpíjí do práce a práce do volného času. Práce je natolik neuchopitelná, že často ani nevíme, kdy vlastně pracujeme – a přitom nikdy skutečně nekončí.Je však třeba dodat, že se proměňuje i vztah k práci. Zatímco pro dvacáté století bylo určující pojetí Maxe Webera, který chápal práci jako „povolání“, původně spjaté s božím řádem, pro století jednadvacáté se možná stane ikonickým jiný obrat: „bullshit job“, v českém překladu Davida Šíra „práce na hovno“. Tento posun výmluvně zachycuje proměnu práce z něčeho, co utvářelo naši identitu, v něco, co ji rozkládá. Stále větší část společnosti je prý placena za činnosti, které postrádají smysl, a to právě i podle těch lidí, kteří je vykonávají.A přesto není tak snadné se práce vzdát – a možná ani dobré o tom snít. Spíše je třeba hledat způsoby, jak práci vrátit smysl tam, kde se z ní vytratil. Už proto, že nejde jen o výdělek ani o vlastní identitu. Vedle škol možná neexistuje jiné místo než právě práce, které nutí téměř všechny vstupovat do kontaktu s lidmi mimo vlastní sociální okruh a společně hledat řešení napříč názorovými rozdíly, někdy i propastmi. V tomto smyslu může být práce – nebo by mohla být – celoživotní školou porozumění.KapitolyI. Lenost i vzpoura proti práci [úvod až 9:45]II. Méně hodin, více tlaku [9:45 až 31:25]III.

El capital social, que integra esa confianza mutua, esa red de apoyo entre vecinos, esa sensación de que no estás solo, es un activo económico real. ¿Es la religión un freno al progreso económico o, por el contrario, uno de sus motores más poderosos? Durante siglos, la respuesta dominante apuntaba en la primera dirección. La modernidad europea se construyó, en parte, sobre la idea de que la secularización era un requisito indispensable para el desarrollo. Sin embargo, la evidencia acumulada en las últimas décadas invita a revisar esa tesis. Por eso, esta semana, en Economía para quedarte sin amigos, dedicamos el episodio a analizar qué aporta la religión a la economía y al bienestar de las personas. El debate no es sencillo. Desde el capital físico hasta la productividad, pasando por el capital humano y el trabajo, la práctica religiosa ha tenido una influencia que los economistas llevan décadas intentando medir. La tesis de Max Weber sobre el protestantismo como catalizador del capitalismo europeo fue durante mucho tiempo el relato hegemónico, pero hoy es una postura cuestionada: los cantones católicos suizos, la propia Baviera o los mormones del estado de Utah no encajan bien en ese esquema. Lo que sí parece más sólido es el impacto de la religión a nivel individual y comunitario. Los datos del Instituto Heritage y del Pew Research Center apuntan en una dirección clara: las personas que participan regularmente en servicios religiosos tienden a estar más casadas, a tener mayor estabilidad laboral, a salir antes de situaciones de pobreza y a presentar mejores indicadores de salud mental y física. La práctica religiosa resulta ser, estadísticamente, uno de los factores que mejor predice el bienestar a largo plazo, por encima incluso del nivel de estudios.

Hi there hello audient, how've you been?The end, they say, is near. Some say this end is the apocalypse.Others call it "a new Middle Ages" ..sorry, I mean "East". Some say 'end' with the meaning of goal - for example the goal of the war on Iran - and shift the definition of 'end' according to the means they can afford...War as capitalism in other means I guess.Due to the unfortunate combination of our illustrious MC being quite unwell, and Sagi having seemingly fallen down a particularly steep and slippery economico-theologico-geo-politico rabbit-hole-o - -                  ..it might have become a tad monological at times.The thread that starts us off concerns the "raw" nature, or feel, of this war. American liberals opine over Bush that bothered to lie at least; he spoke around the oil, not through it (or to it for that matter).But the political chaos of this war - the lack of inhibitions in doing, as Chancellor Merz says, "our dirty work" - does serve to expose a hand that prefers to remain invisible (Max Weber would say it has spiritual aspirations). And it also exposes a structure, and a problem, with a long, seldom discussed, history. The invisible hands of the "secular" west's global capitalism can be uncannily traced to the first Crusade in 1095; where a power-drunk Pope called for the destruction of the vile race that defiles the Holy Land (incidentally solving much internal strife and crime, as the first 70% of his speech suggest)...Seen in this more nuanced lens, this conflict was a long time coming. The seeming insanity of everything about this war, the feeling that no one is holding the Westphalian reins, leaves only the most ancient of hands to steer the course of events.But the real issue is one of Sovereignty - a secularized (Christian) theological concept based on their conception of 'God' (and the violence that this concept did to the Jewish 'Hashem'). This problem never stops rearing its head whenever Christians find themselves in conflict; the Eastern/Western Church schism, the Crusades that were used to "blow off steam" of intra-Christian aggression ("Go attack the heretic Muslim! (instead of robbing our clergy...) We must save the Holy Land!"), the way that an Other like itself (universalist, potentially Imperial, economically relevant) immediately conjures messianic fires in the religious (and supposedly "secular") world, aching for an apocalypse.The peace of Westphalia took all that religious animosity of yet another Christian schism (the Reformation), and channeled it inwards; classic Augustinian move. If "all" cannot resolve the problem of sovereignty - i.e. how to respect difference under a metaphysics that presupposes access to, and comprehension of, both God's totality and infinity. The very logic of Westphalia is already Protestant; access to God, to the Sovereign, was only further internalized by Luther who gave it to the "individual" believer, but the indivisible, absolute sovereignty of 'God' remains. Its claim remains; now in individual hearts that can snap at any moment, spontaneously, as if manifesting destiny.And this is the framework through which we read this conflict. Considering the westphalian system and the effects of forcing it on the Middle East, the reasons for which this system was forced and enforced in the first place (hint: it's not to bring any enlightenment, and certainly not democracy, to the yum yum oil-rich region), the fact that it caused a structurally antisemitic pressure that resulted in the solution of "Israel," its uncanny protection by 'western liberal democracies' (often blatantly double-standardized...), and also dissolve the nagging question of "does Israel have a right to exist"The rest is up to you, audient.Are you still there..?...

There is a loss that takes place between the end of Exodus, with the people donating materials and building the tabernacle in small groups excitedly, and the beginning of Leviticus with the routinization of altar offerings and a professional class to facilitate essential social functions. This loss is precisely the one the great thinkers Max Weber and Jurgen Habermas described in their most important works. It's not accident Habermas died with the scroll rolled to the space in between the two Torah books.

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度,雪球,国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台,聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫漫谈AI时代：教育、土地、前额叶、神秘主义，来自STH_。AI发展速度与社会影响力远超曾经被认为“激进”的预期，我觉得是时候写篇随笔谈谈自己的一些想法，包括人类作为碳基生物如何适应新的时代、一些预测、以及开放性的灵感碎片。一、AI所擅长的工作与对人类劳动力的替代目前的AI极其擅长对于信息进行检索以及机械化加工，显著优势在于“重复性高”、“可预测性高”的传统脑力工作。比如缺乏实际意义的空话与中等质量文案、基础的编程、信息检索汇总等，这些传统白领脑力工作的特征在于极高的重复度与可预测性。AI可以大量学习历史数据并复制模仿流程，产生70分甚至80分的成果。产出成果低于AI水平、或没有能力进一步优化的大量传统白领工作价值会受到严重挑战。在艺术类作品中，AI对于作画、音乐、配音、视频等曾经需要大量人力完成的工作已经产生明确生产力提升与替代威胁。在深度学习某个画家的作品后，AI可以高效率捕捉其绘画特点并进行高效产出；许多配音演员被要求出售对其声音的AI学习与再制作权益，而AI配音已经很大程度以假乱真，能有85分以上的真实度与感染力。但生产力爆发、成本降低的背后是知识产权的混乱。比如AI音乐制作领域已经有很多听感极佳的作品，但总会有一种熟悉感，可能来源于多段相似风格作品的节奏与旋律拼接。这种潜在的“致敬”或“抄袭”质疑在音乐界经久不衰，但AI的使用与算法盲盒使得AI音乐制作生产力爆发的同时，对抄袭定义、原创者权益保护的灰色地带迅速扩张。以目前的AI发展，我认为有几个人类依旧占据生产力优势的方向：1. 非公开信息：信息是原料，掌握非公开的重要信息可以赢在起点。2. 对信息的加权处理能力：AI面对的是爆炸的信息源，人类的优势在于对复杂矛盾的信息进行优先级与权重分配，这种能力在更多元的、精细的、历史数据较难用于未来预测的任务上有长期超越AI的可能性。3. 对不同领域信息与资源的整合能力：目前的AI对于跨学科/领域的整合能力较差，可能是这类人才与情景本来就较少、考验的能力更复合，导致AI更难学习模仿。以创作类为例，AI工具较容易做出70-80分的音乐、美术等单一领域产品，却无法纯粹由AI完成70分的游戏制作。这一点其实大量解放了有才华、却曾经被个人技术与生产力限制的创作者。我们观察到在使用了AI之后，小型游戏工作室与个人制作者的生产力大幅提升，降低了对于基本实现能力（比如基础代码、音乐、美术）的外部依赖。包括短视频制作，过去拥有一个好的想法需要重人力的实现途径，比如演员、摄像、视频剪辑等等，但现在可以更低成本、低依赖度实现想法。我认为AI在降低了“实现”环节的权重后，拥有know-how的少数人生产力会得到前所未有的解放，也会在整个社会资源与价值分配中拿到更大份额。在AI具有更强的综合信息资源整合能力与非线性/非归纳型预测能力之前，这种优势会维持很久。二、教育、白领、中产阶级目前的教育体系依旧过度强调机械性的脑力工作，将会与AI时代所需要的技能背道相驰。传统的白领工作模式在于“较高的前置学习壁垒”与“较低的应用变量”，比如医学、法律等行业需要人类学习专业数据库并知道在什么时候调用具体的知识/法条，但大多数情景其实都是没有太多争议的机械性知识调用工作。输入“眼睑局部红肿”、“硬结”、“按压剧痛”，很容易得到麦粒肿的诊断与相对应的治疗处理方式，其实很多工作是AI能胜任、具有替代性的。当然，越是复杂的情况与诉求会对AI使用者对于语言文字的描述精确性有更高的要求，有更强表达与理解能力的使用者会对AI给出更精确有效的指令，从而提升最终的AI生产结果。大量传统机械化脑力白领工作会被AI提升效率并替代，我们已经在全球各地看到这种劳动力与市场需求的错配：以美国为例，目前短缺的是蓝领工人与灰领服务人员，白领的入门级工作机会大幅下降、资深白领的需求则在增长。大部分国家的中产阶级是白领，在可见的未来会进一步空心化，直到某一天AI革命创造更多新的高附加值中产岗位。同样以美国为例，顶端富人更富、中产和底层承压的K型经济非常显著。以消费行业的高频数据为例，餐饮与零售行业的压力从低价产品逐渐渗透到传统中产的领域。贫富差距加剧、中产空心化的对社会治理带来的挑战会是全球性的难题。三、资本、土地、人力的价值分配传统的生产要素理论认为企业/企业家整合了资本（有形与无形的生产工具）、土地（自然资源）、人力三种资源。人力整体在可见的中短期会不可避免承压，AI的低成本与生产成果可以平替大量传统人力产出；也同时会加剧分配的顶端极化，比如AI人才在各大科技公司的话语权与薪资大幅上升。技术突破带来的生产工具效率提升至少会阶段性使可被提升效率的行业生产工具价值下降。企业在全球化逆转、各国更注重本土主义的情况下受限。过去享受到全球化浪潮带来低成本生产力、全球市场、避税港的跨国公司会无法追求极致效率，支付更高的综合成本。在全球货币更滥发、经济增速更缓慢的环境下，全社会平均资本回报率会更低，当然资本内部分化依旧显著。综上，在社会总价值比例分配的变化趋势上，我认为具有稀缺性的自然资源会整体获得更大的份额，也会承担更多的社会治理成本负担。硅基生产力依赖电子，而电子的传播资源铜铝、电子的储存资源锂都会有长期产业级的需求增长。飙升的资源价格与加剧的资源民族主义都在展示AI趋势下新的社会价值分配模式。在AI迅速发展与突破的时期，政府可能不会对重要的生产资料进行过多干扰，以免生产力落后于其他国家；等到AI对社会影响更稳定后，可能会对电力、资源等硅基生产力的成本进行提高，以保证碳基生产力不被过度替代。民用与商用基础资源的价格双轨制是一种选项。四、全球性的前额叶退化在对全球著名烈酒公司Diageo进行投资复盘时，我发现了新世代烈酒消费的大幅下滑。24年时我将其归因为疫情带来的一次性冲击，事实上这种代际变化发生时间更早。在于Gen Alpha群体及其密切相关的教育界、心理咨询界等人士交流后，我发现全球性的前额叶退化正在发生。疫情的一次性冲击、经济不景气的压力、短视频的流行都在促成一个前额叶发育更糟糕的世代，包括成年人的前额叶状态也在恶化。而这一大脑核心功能区的恶化会导致专注力下降、社交欲望下降、语言沟通与表达能力下降。更多的青少年面临焦虑、adhd、社交障碍等困扰，这几年线下社交场景的收缩与全球性前额叶恶化也具有一定的相关性，青少年的饮酒频率下滑显著高于同期成年人。包括游戏行业的常青老游戏老IP复兴，也一定程度受益于大量现代人注意力更碎片化、对多巴胺奖励更缺乏耐心、没有精力从零开始学习一个入门成本较高的新游戏。这种情况在未来极大可能会因为教育体系的错配与改革进一步恶化。传统教育体系对于大量阅读、专注学习的诉求会在16-25岁大幅增强前额叶的发展，而这一点可能在未来越来越困难。未来较强的专注能力、社交能力、表达沟通能力会是稀缺品。五、重新赋魅Max Weber所说的祛魅disenchantment的底层是大量现代人接纳并投入经济生产活动的效率体系，而这种经济生产关系与体系的动摇必然带来更多对于现代性的思考与反叛。对于人类价值与意义的思考、神秘主义的复苏、更低的社会教育水平，会塑造一个重新赋魅的社会氛围。我并非科技加速主义的信徒，但AI与社会的新时代已经到来，无论抗拒或拥抱。

“If you disestablish Christianity, then Christian leaders need to make Christianity a consumer product. They need to give the American people something they want.” — Matthew Avery SuttonOver the years, Keen On has done many shows on the relationship between the United States and organized religion. Daniel Williams argued that smart people still believe in God. Jim Wallis warned that a false white gospel is threatening America. But we've never quite done a show on Christianity as “the thing in itself”—the force that made America what it is, for better and for worse. That's what this conversation is about.Historian Matthew Avery Sutton's new book, Chosen Land: How Christianity Made America and Americans Remade Christianity, is a sweeping argument that Christianity is not just part of the American story—it is the American story. The founders created a godless Constitution not out of principle but pragmatism: they couldn't pick a winning denomination. The unintended consequence was to open the floodgates. Powerful Protestant groups seized even more power, building an unofficial establishment that shaped everything from westward expansion to the Civil War to the rise of the religious right.Sutton's most provocative insight is that disestablishment turned Christianity into a consumer product. Forced to compete for adherents against entertainment, sports, and media, American churches became entrepreneurial, technologically savvy, and relentlessly current—reinventing themselves every generation. That's what sets American Christianity apart from the rest of the Western world. It also helps explain Trump: a president who uses Christianity in a “crass, overt, and hypocritical” way, but who is doing something that generations before him built the infrastructure to enable. Whether this is Christianity's last gasp or the prelude to another great revival, Sutton says, nobody knows. But the air we breathe in America is Christian air, and this book explains how it got that way. Five Takeaways•       The Godless Constitution Backfired: The founders couldn't pick a winning denomination, so they disestablished religion. It was pragmatic, not ideological. But this opened the floodgates. The Christians who already had the most power—Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians—seized even more, creating an unofficial Protestant establishment that determined who was in and who was out.•       Christianity Became a Consumer Product: Disestablishment forced churches to compete for adherents. They had to be aggressive, entrepreneurial, current—competing with entertainment, sports, and media. They became masters of new technologies and communication, reinventing Christianity every generation. That's what sets American Christianity apart from the rest of the world: an unintended consequence of the First Amendment.•       The Civil War Was Christians Killing Christians: Presbyterians killing Presbyterians, Methodists killing Methodists. It exposed the fragility of the effort to build a Christian utopia when you can't settle the question of slavery. The Confederates actually wrote God and Jesus Christ into their constitution—they believed the Union had gone off the rails because its Constitution was too godless.•       The Liberationists Are the Heroes: Indigenous preachers who saw Jesus as liberator, Black Christians, gay rights activists in the 1960s and 1970s, Barack Obama. There have always been alternative visions of Christianity in America. Sutton's heroes are those who see Jesus as a radical figure who wants to overturn hierarchies and bring equality.•       This May Be Christianity's Last Gasp—Or Not: Just under two-thirds of Americans now identify as Christian—a historic low. Trump's hypocrisy is driving young people away. In anointing Trump as their savior, the religious right may have hammered the final nail into their coffin. But every time scholars predict secularization, America has a revival. Nobody knows what's next. About the GuestMatthew Avery Sutton is the Claudius O. and Mary Johnson Distinguished Professor and chair of the Department of History at Washington State University.

In this episode, Alex dives into the chaos gripping Mexico after the killing of cartel leader El Mencho, exploring how the Jalisco New Generation Cartel challenged the state's authority. Drawing on Max Weber's definition of the state as the entity with a monopoly on legitimate violence, Alex examines what it means when organized crime can burn highways, shoot down helicopters, and act as a parallel government. The episode unpacks whether Mexico can reclaim control and restore the Weberian monopoly of violence in the wake of this dramatic upheaval. At the end, Alex also gives an update on Cuba as it is experiencing the potential for mass starvation after sanctions following Maduro's ousting in Venezuela.

'Governance of Resistance in North and East Syria' examines the momentous development of the Kurdish-led autonomous administration since 2012. The creation of this unprecedented, ideologically radical entity is of immense significance in Kurdish, Syrian and Middle Eastern history and for discourses of nationalism and identity. This book presents new research from the expanding scholarship to interrogate Rojava as a political and social idea and explain the resistance narrative that underpins the ideology and governance structures. The contributions examine key aspects of the condition of the autonomous government, its successes, failures and impact, including the theory and nature of the political structures, their application in Arab areas, identity, education, gender and foreign relations. The findings demonstrate that North and East Syria has been revolutionary, that resistance there is resilient, and that there are constant and dynamic tensions between ideology and pragmatism in the evolution of this remarkable political and social project. The speakers at this event will also discuss fast-moving developments in north and east Syria. Meet our speakers Stephen Knight is a doctoral student at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies at the University of Oxford. His ethnographic research explores the application of international humanitarian law by the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. Outside of the field of law Stephen's research also looks at the interaction between mythology and political movements. Stephen also practises as a barrister, specialising in the interactions between criminal law, protest law, immigration law, and public law. He has forthcoming works in the fields of trafficking law and Kurdish mythology. Thomas McGee is an interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of legal and social studies of the Middle East, with particular emphasis on Kurdish dynamics in the Syrian context. He is a Max Weber fellow at the European University Institute in Florence, and completed his PhD on “Syria's Changing Statelessness Landscape: 2011 as Critical Juncture” at Melbourne Law School's Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness. Thomas has been a Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford's Refugee Studies Centre and Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. He has previously published on a wide variety of topics in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, International Migration Review, Middle East Journal of Culture and Communication, Genocide Studies International and the Kurdish Studies journal. Currently, Thomas is developing his PhD for publication as a monograph. Dastan Jasim is a Research Engineer at the Dauphine University in Paris and an Associate Fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies. Her research focuses on political culture, democratization and security studies. William Smith is an analyst and researcher whose work has focused on Syria since 2013. He was worked as an independent adviser on a number of U.K.-government and EU funded peacebuilding and stabilisation projects, including as the lead for a ‘Track 2' initiative in northeastern Syria in 2021-22 that brought representatives of the SDF and Autonomous Administration together in dialogue with local civil society. He currently provides conflict analysis for a Syria humanitarian project.

"How can you not be a populist in this day and age?" — Hélène LandemoreIn February 2020, The New Yorker profiled a Yale professor making the case for citizen rule. Six years later, that political scientist, Hélène Landemore, has a new book entitled Politics Without Politicians arguing that politics should be "an amateur sport instead of an expert's job" and that randomly selected citizen assemblies should replace representative democracy. Landemore calls it "jury duty on steroids."Landemore draws on her experience observing France's Citizens' Conventions on both climate and end-of-life issues to now direct Connecticut's first state-level citizen assembly. We discuss why the Greeks used lotteries instead of elections, what G.K. Chesterton meant by imagining democracy as a "jolly hostess," and why she has sympathy for the anti-Federalists who lost the argument about the best form of American government to Madison. When I ask if she's comfortable being called a populist, she doesn't flinch: "If the choice is between populist and elitist, I don't know how you can not be a populist." From the Damon Wells'58 Professor of Political Science at Yale, this might sound a tad suicidal. At least professionally. But Landemore's jolly argument for a politics without politicians is the type of message that will win elections in our populist age.About the GuestHélène Landemore is the Damon Wells'58 Professor of Political Science at Yale University. She is the author of Politics Without Politicians: The Case for Citizen Rule (2026) and Open Democracy: Reinventing Popular Rule for the Twenty-First Century (2020).ReferencesThinkers discussed:●      G.K. Chesterton was the British essayist who defined democracy as an "attempt, like that of a jolly hostess, to bring the shy people out"—a vision Landemore finds more inspiring than technical definitions about elite selection.●      James Madison and the Federalists designed a republic meant to filter popular passions through elected representatives; Landemore has sympathy for their anti-Federalist opponents who wanted legislatures that looked like "a mini-portrait of the people."●      Alexis de Tocqueville warned about the dangers of trusting ordinary people—a caution Landemore pushes back against, arguing that voters respond to the limited choices they're given.●      Max Weber wrote "Politics as a Vocation" (1919), arguing that politics requires a special calling; Landemore questions whether it should be a profession at all.●      Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his concept of the general will has been blamed for totalitarian impulses; Landemore rejects the comparison, insisting her vision preserves liberal constitutional frameworks.●      Joseph Schumpeter defined democracy as "a method for elite selection"—precisely the technocratic framing Landemore wants to overturn.Citizen assembly experiments mentioned:●      The Irish Citizens' Assembly on abortion (2016-2017) is often cited as proof that randomly selected citizens can deliberate on divisive issues and reach workable conclusions.●      The French Citizens' Convention on End-of-Life (2022-2023) found common ground between pro- and anti-euthanasia factions by focusing on palliative care—a case Landemore observed firsthand.●      The French Citizens' Convention for Climate (2019-2020) brought 150 randomly selected citizens together to propose climate policy; participants were paid 84-95 Euros per day.●      The Connecticut citizen assembly on local public services, planned for summer 2026, will be the first state-level citizen assembly in the United States. Landemore is directing its design.Also mentioned:●      Zephyr Teachout is the left-wing populist who called Landemore a "reluctant populist."●      Oliver Hart (Harvard) and Luigi Zingales (Chicago) are economists working with Landemore to apply the citizen assembly model to corporate governance reform.●      The Council of 500 was the Athenian deliberative body whose members were selected by lottery, with a rotating chair appointed daily.●      John Stuart Mill is the liberal theorist whose emphasis on minority rights raises the question of whether Landemore's majoritarianism is illiberal. She says no.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

In the third part of our series David and Paul Sagar explore what the German writer and sociologist Max Weber can teach us about the pitfalls of political life and political philosophy. Why is doing politics so hard? Why is it so hard to know what to do for the best when all the options are bad ones? How can we still do our best when the only means at our disposal is violence? And where does all this leave the prospects for lasting political change?

Today, we have Editor-in-Chief Shikha Dalmia in conversation with two of the foremost thinkers of our time, Frank Fukuyama, an American political theorist and public intellectual best known for The End of History and the Last Man who is now a senior fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute, where his work focuses on political order, governance, and democratic backsliding. And Tyler Cowen, an economist, author, and public intellectual who has written books on innovation, talent and cultural change. A professor at George Mason University and director of the Mercatus Center, he writes the highly influential blog Marginal Revolution and hosts the long-running podcast Conversations with Tyler.One reason for the populist revolt in America is the notion of the “deep state”—that an unaccountable bureaucracy is secretly ruling the country. Frank and Tyler come from very different intellectual traditions. Frank, a centrist, is a student of Max Weber and Tyler is a limited government libertarian. Yet they have both argued that liberal states in complex modern societies need a functional bureaucracy— aka state capacity—to deliver public goods and solve collective action problems. But they also have a ton of disagreements, especially on just how broken American governance is—and they duke it out in a spirited discussion.We hope you enjoy.***Thanks for checking out The UnPopulist!

We talk about how bad messaging, cringe behavior, and ideological shortcuts can tank movements, including a wild DSA mishap. Pulling from Max Weber, history, and everyday politics, we argue that real progress comes down to considering real consequences and what a majority of people can actually get behind. In the Backroom, Dave and I continue our spicy conversation on “Progress and Reaction,” taking a deeper look at how parts of the left end up functioning as “shocktroops for capital.”Timestamps: 0:00 Trump's ICE Raids (Preview)3:43  The Importance of Radical Responsibility 30:45 The Responsibility of the Radical Right53:04 DSA Disaster 1:09:14 Nick Fuentes' Rise 1:25:49 Ends, means, & Intentions: The Ethics of Conviction vs ResponsibilityGUEST:David McKerracher (Theory Underground)• Theory Underground (YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/@theory_underground• McKerracher of TU (X): https://x.com/theoryundrgrnd• Theory Underground (Substack): https://theoryunderground.substack.com/• Underground Theory Volume 2 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FZBNYSF9FOLLOW 1Dime:• Substack (Articles and Essays): https://1dimereview.substack.com• X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/• Check out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.

Neste episódio da série A ORDEM, entramos no pensamento de Norberto Bobbio para refletir sobre um tema decisivo para o nosso tempo: os limites do poder, a justiça representativa e a vocação escatológica da liderança adventista. Bobbio, jurista e filósofo político italiano, foi uma das grandes consciências do século XX na defesa do Estado de Direito, da democracia representativa e da limitação da autoridade. Para ele, o problema do poder não era sua existência, mas a ausência de limites — uma advertência que ecoa com força em tempos de populismo, tecnocratização e opacidade institucional. Ao integrar Bobbio ao horizonte teológico da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia, este episódio não seculariza a fé, mas ilumina a estrutura com a razão, submetendo-a à Palavra e ao Espírito. Exploramos como princípios como regra, representação, prestação de contas e transparência dialogam profundamente com a escatologia adventista, o sistema de governo representativo da IASD e a santidade da limitação na liderança espiritual. O episódio percorre: o significado do Estado de Direito e sua releitura espiritual como santificação do poder; a democracia representativa como participação responsável, não elitismo institucional; a transparência como vocação profética contra a tentação da opacidade; e a ordem representativa como resistência à desordem escatológica dos tempos finais. Mais do que uma análise filosófica, este é um chamado pastoral e profético: autoridade só é santa quando é limitada, visível e submissa ao Senhor da Igreja.

In this week's show we move from philosophy to historical practice by exploring the most profound intersections of high technology and ritual magick from the ancient world and discuss precisely what it has to do with computers today. We explore the tale of the Golem of Prague, the alchemy of building a microprocessor and how silica has influenced our entire evolution. In the extended show we discuss the ancient Egyptian Ushabti doll and how they worked much like the spiritual equivalent to modern computing's Daemon alongside what science myth granted such basic little creatures such a loaded name.

As global powers double down on militarism and defense, Daniel Zoughbie argues that the most transformative force in the Middle East has always come from citizen diplomacy. A complex-systems scientist and diplomatic historian, Zoughbie joins Mark Labberton to explore how twelve U.S. presidents have "kicked the hornet's nest" of the modern Middle East. Drawing on his work in global health and his new book Kicking the Hornet's Nest: U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East from Truman to Trump, Zoughbie contrasts the view from refugee camps and microclinic networks with the view from the Oval Office, arguing that American security rests on a three-legged stool of defense, diplomacy, and development. He explains why Gerald Ford stands out as the lone president who truly leveraged diplomacy, how the Marshall Plan model of enlightened self-interest can guide policy now, and why nationalism, not mere economics, lies at the heart of Gaza's future. Throughout, he presses listeners toward "citizen diplomacy" that resists pride, militarism, and fatalism. Episode Highlights "We've constantly ignored diplomacy." " You don't have to be enemies with people to get them to do what is in their own self-interest." "You can build skyscrapers in Gaza. You can build the Four Seasons in Gaza and it's not going to work. You're just going to have another war until you address that core issue of nationalism." "These three Ds defense diplomacy development are the three legged stool of American security and we know how important diplomacy and development are." "From Truman to Trump, only one president, and that is Gerald Ford, surprisingly the only unelected president, gets this right." "Pride—national pride, the pride of any one individual—is toxic. It's toxic to the individual. It's toxic to the nation. It's toxic to the world." "Foreign policymaking is not just something for secretaries of state and those in power. All of us in a democracy have a role to play."

Zoughbie is a complex-systems scientist, historian, and expert on presidential decision-making. He is associate project scientist at UC Berkeley's Institute of International Studies, a faculty affiliate of the UCSF/UCB Center for Global Health Delivery, Diplomacy, and Economics, and principal investigator of the Middle East and North Africa Diplomacy, Development, and Defense Initiative. He is the author of Kicking the Hornet's Nest: U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East from Truman to Trump and of Indecision Points: George W. Bush and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. His award-winning research has appeared in journals such as PLOS Medicine, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Social Science and Medicine. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of UC Berkeley, he studied at Oxford on a Marshall Scholarship and completed his doctorate there as a Weidenfeld Scholar. Show Notes Middle East Background and Microclinic Origins Daniel Zoughbie recalls visiting the Middle East as a child—"frankly horrified" by what he saw UC Berkeley protests over the Iraq War and post-9/11 U.S. policy in the region Metabolic disease and type 2 diabetes as an overlooked "greatest killer in the region." Neighbors in the West Bank sharing food, medicine, and blood-pressure cuffs—leads to the "micro clinic" concept Good health behaviors, like bad ones and even violence, can be contagious through social networks Social Networks, Anthropology, and Security Social anthropology, political science, and international relations Medical problems as simultaneously biological and sociological problems Understanding Middle East security demands attention to decisions "at the very bottom" as well as "the view from above" October 7 and 9/11 illustrate how small groups of people can "change the world with their decisions." Complex Systems and Foreign Policy Complexity is always increasing, and diplomacy and development exist to slow it down. Definition of "complex system": as one where many inputs produce outcomes that cannot be reduced to single causes. "We almost have a new law here, which is that complexity is always increasing in the universe. And the role of diplomacy and development, as I see it in international relations, is to slow things down. It's to stop complexity from advancing so that people have time to cool their tempers and to solve major security crises." Type 2 diabetes as a model for thinking about how city planning, economics, relationships, and habits interact He applies that lens to international relations: nations, leaders, institutions, and history form a "cascade of complexity." From Refugee Camps to Presidential Palaces George Shultz and Tony Blair: decision-makers as "real human beings," not abstractions Theological and ideological forces—such as certain apocalyptic readings of scripture—that shape U.S. foreign policy Gnosticism and eschatology within American right-wing Christianity Painstaking global health work on the ground and sweeping decisions made in Washington, Brussels, or New York Twelve Presidents and One Exception Kicking the Hornet's Nest: analysis of twelve presidents from Truman to Trump through the lens of Middle East decision-making Core claim: Only Gerald Ford truly rebalanced the three Ds of defense, diplomacy, and development. U.S. policy in the Levant: heavy reliance on militarism, coups, and covert actions while underinvesting in diplomacy and development Claim: "Far better alternatives were on the table" for every administration, yet consistently passed over. Gerald Ford, Kissinger, and the Path to Peace Daniel contends that the 1967 and 1973 wars were both preventable and nearly became global nuclear catastrophes. Ford inherits the presidency amid Watergate and national division, but keeps Henry Kissinger at State. Ford presses Israel and Egypt toward serious negotiations, empowering Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy and personal ties. A sharply worded letter threatening to "reconsider" the U.S.–Israel relationship Ford's diplomacy and the development of Camp David and the enduring Egypt–Israel peace based on "land for peace." Pride, Personality, and Presidential Failure Did Ford's temperament keep him from making himself the center of the story? In contrast, many presidents and other leaders write themselves "thickly" into the narrative of the conflict. Pride—personal and national—as a toxic force that repeatedly undermines U.S. policy The Iraq War and democracy-promotion agenda and the self-defeating nature of moralistic, militarized crusades Marshall Plan and Enlightened Self-Interest George Marshall and harsh punishment after World War I helped produce Nazi Germany The Marshall Plan models an "enlightened way of viewing the American self-interest": rebuilding Europe and Japan to secure U.S. security. He contrasts that with the neglect of the Levant, where aid and institution-building never matched military activism. Marshall's genius lies in locating the intersection between others' deepest needs and American capabilities. Militarism, Iran, and Nuclear Risk Recent U.S.–Israel–Iran confrontation as an "extremely dangerous moment"—with 60 percent enriched uranium unaccounted for JCPOA as an imperfect but effective diplomatic achievement, but dismantled in favor of militarism Claim: Bombing Iran scattered nuclear material and increased complexity rather than reducing the threat. He warns that one nuclear device could be delivered by low-tech means—a boat or helicopter—endangering civilians and U.S. forces in the Gulf. The only realistic path forward: renewed multilateral diplomacy between U.S., Israel, Iran, Russia, China, Pakistan, India, and regional actors Ethical Realism and Max Weber "Ethical realism"—Max Weber's distinction between the ethic of the gospel and the ethic of responsibility Statespeople bear responsibility for using force, yet the greatest can still say "here I stand and I can do no other." Claim: True leadership seeks a higher ethic where national interest aligns with genuine concern for others. Gaza, Nationalism, and Two States Welcoming the end of active war between Israel and Hamas and critiquing reconstruction plans that ignore politics Conflict is fundamentally nationalist: a struggle for self-determination by both Jewish and Palestinian peoples Claim: Economic development without a credible political horizon will not prevent "another October 7th and another terrible war." In his view, only partition of mandatory Palestine into two states can meet legitimate self-determination claims. For example, "You can build skyscrapers in Gaza… and it's not going to work" without addressing nationalism. Citizen Diplomacy and a Better Way Foreign policy is not only the work of secretaries of state; democratic citizens have responsibilities. American University of Beirut and the Gaza Baptist Hospital as fruits of citizen diplomacy Claim: Educational and medical institutions can change lives more profoundly and durably than military campaigns. Redirecting resources from bombs to universities and hospitals to reduce the need for future military interventions An invitation to citizen diplomacy: informed voting, sustained attention, and creative engagement for a more just peace Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Max Weber foi um dos mais brilhantes observadores da sociedade moderna. Seu nome tornou-se sinônimo de análise rigorosa da autoridade, da burocracia e das formas pelas quais as instituições moldam a ação social. Sua tipologia das formas de dominação — carismática, tradicional e racional-legal — ainda é amplamente aplicada na compreensão das organizações contemporâneas. Entretanto, quando essas categorias são utilizadas para interpretar ou, pior, organizar a vida da igreja, um dilema profundo emerge: pode uma comunidade chamada a viver segundo o Espírito ser administrada segundo os princípios da racionalidade burocrática? Esse é o ponto crítico deste episódio: a influência do pensamento weberiano sobre a estrutura de liderança e o sistema de governo da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia. Por um lado, Weber nos oferece uma lente poderosa para descrever o funcionamento organizacional da IASD. Por outro, seus pressupostos — se aceitos como normativos — representam uma ameaça à ordem espiritual, escatológica e profética que sustenta o movimento adventista. O risco não é pequeno: é possível que a fidelidade ao modelo de eficiência e previsibilidade acabe por apagar a chama do carisma, da missão e da reforma contínua.

Prawdziwa historia o tym, jak jeden cytat z Webera zmienił wszystko w niemieckim kabriolecie – i co to mówi o nas wszystkich.Odkryjesz:

Nous sommes le 7 novembre 1917, à Munich. C'est à l'invitation d'une association d'étudiants de l'Université que Max Weber, l'un des fondateurs de la sociologie, prononce une conférence intitulée « Le métier et la vocation de savant ». Cette conférence est publiée deux ans plus tard et donne lieu à de vives réactions, négatives pour la plupart. Dans « Wissenschaft als Beruf », Weber dresse, notamment, un tableau sans concession de la situation professionnelle du scientifique moderne qui, selon lui, est appelé à une spécialisation de plus en plus forte et à participer à ce qu'il nomme le « désenchantement du monde ». L'économiste et sociologue se demande si la science a un sens. Non, répond-il, car elle est incapable de répondre à la question essentielle : « comment vivre ? ». Pour Weber encore, le scientifique doit travailler en sachant que ses éventuelles découvertes seront vouées, tôt ou tard, à être dépassées et il se doit de cultiver une vertu fondamentale : la « probité intellectuelle ». Alors, quel est le cheminement de Max Weber, penseur majeur au tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles ? Pourquoi a-t-il tant déplu, lui qu'un certain nombre de politiques, aujourd'hui, invoquent pour sa conception de l'État contemporain qu'il faut voir « comme une communauté humaine qui, dans les limites d'un territoire déterminé, revendique, avec succès, pour son propre compte le monopole de la violence physique légitime. » Invité : Vincent Genin, docteur en histoire, chercheur à la KUL et à l'Ecole pratique des Hautes études de Paris.

Shadi Hamid reflected on Samuel's piece and more, writing a column about it for the Washington Post. Today, we bring both men together to discuss the central questions of both articles: do Christianity and politics mix?Damir Marusic adds his own take on the debate, trying to dissuade both Samuel and Shadi from thinking that there is a “true” Christianity that can be saved from the corrupting influence of political power. Shadi says that he does not care whether there is a true version of Christianity: what he wants is a healthy, forgiveness-centered version of Christianity to triumph politically, that is what is good for America.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  1:47   Welcome to GRE from Rocky Mount North Carolina to Mount Shasta, California and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold, and you are inside for another wealth building week of get rich education. A lot of people have been building wealth lately. Do you even understand all the markets that are either at or near all time highs, real estate, stocks, gold, all recently hit those levels, also nested home equity positions of American property owners are at all time highs. Silver is also near an all time high, and so are FICO credit scores. All this means that the haves are in really good shape, and the have nots aren't more on that later. Let's then you and I talk about real estate versus stocks. I've invested in both for decades, and it's not something that I do on the side. This is the core of what I do and talk about with you every week. And I've never felt more inclined toward investing in real estate ever the resilience of residential real estate, a major reason is that I've always found real estate investing easier to understand than the s and p5 100, and it comes down to the mechanics of each one in The stock market, a company can be well run, it can be profitable, and it can even be growing, yet its stock price might fall anyway. Why? Because expectations weren't met for a quarterly earnings report, or investor sentiment just happened to shift for a while, people just tended to focus on the bad stuff instead of the good stuff, even though it was always there, and that's why the stock price went down. So what makes a stock move more often than not, is kind of laughable. It isn't a word sentiment, emotions. It's how investors collectively feel about a stock and that can change on a dime. One quarter's earnings miss an interest rate hike, geopolitical news or even a single social media comment from a CEO that can move billions of dollars of market value in an instant real estate, on the other hand, that strips away a lot of that noise and that ability for other people's emotions to ruin the price of your apartment building that cannot happen at its core, the value of a property is tied to its income stream and the market that It sits in, that makes it far more direct and way more controllable. If I buy a property, I can see the levers in front of me and ask my property manager to push or pull them or even do it myself. For example, I just asked them to replace flooring in three of my apartment units. With pricier luxury vinyl plank rather than new carpet, and that's because I plan to hold that building for another five years or more. I'll attract a better quality tenant that can afford to pay me more rent. So I know that if I improve operations and increase occupancy, reduce expenses or reposition the asset down the road. I mean, that is directly going to increase net operating income, and that increase will directly affect my valuation. So there's a logic to this that's almost mechanical, and that is not to say that real estate is without nuance or risk. The risk lies in execution. You have to underwrite carefully. Is the location of your property sustainable long term? Are the demographics supportive of Lent growth? What capital improvements are truly lucrative to you and provide the tenants with value, and what kind of improvements are only cosmetic? So real estate isn't just tangible, it's also something that you can interact with. You can walk a property, you can even speak to tenants, study the neighborhood and know exactly what you're dealing with. It's not a ticker symbol reacting to opaque forces that you'll never see or control, and for me, that tactile nature creates clarity. When you buy the right property in the right market with the right strategy, then the path forward is not mysterious. It isn't whimsical, it's deliberate. Real Estate is easier to understand than the S p5, 100. And that also doesn't mean that real estate is simple, because there is that due diligence and strategy, but it's the cause and effect relationship between what you do and the outcome that you get that's far more direct with stocks. You can be completely right about the fundamentals. I mean, you can nail it. You can Bullseye that stock target, and after all that, yet still lose with real estate. If you execute well, the fundamentals eventually do show up in the returns and see because of that direct cause and effect relationship, you can improve yourself as a real estate investor faster than a stock investor can, and that's because you can learn about how your upgrade drove your properties, noi, that information, that feedback that you got, that's something that you can either replicate again or improve upon in your own investor career. So between real estate and stocks, execution is the real differentiator, and control is a key one as well. To me, that sweet spot is control that I have. But through a property manager that way, control doesn't mean that you're losing your quality of life, your standard of living. Now, some people, they do, have the right handyman skills to maintain the property and the right people skills to maintain the tenants. So self managing it can work for just a few people. I sure don't have the handyman skills myself. Sheesh, if I even try to hang a picture on a wall, there's a 50% chance that it's going to end in a drywall patch job. When you can see the cause and effect between your decisions and the property's performance, it creates that level of control that stocks and bonds just don't offer. And I'm also being somewhat kind to stocks by discussing a benchmark like the s, p5, 100, even harder to control and understand are the Wall Street derivatives and financial mutations that the people invested in them don't even understand. Unlike stocks, you own, the levers you own, the operations, the expenses and the occupancy, both have risks, but real estate's risks are more perceptible, more knowable. You won't have to cringe when a company's CEO posts a tweet that's either pro Israel or pro Gaza. Billions of market cap is wiped out, and your investment goes down 12% in one hour. This is why we talk about real estate on the show. There is less speculation and conjecture. It is concrete stuff, and that's all besides how real estate pays you five ways at the same time, as if that wasn't enough.    Keith Weinhold  9:38   Now, when we talk about real estate investing in this decade, do you realize that we have been in a housing recession for two years? A recession in real estate? I mean, it might not feel like it with those home prices at erstwhile mentioned all time highs. We don't need to have falling prices to have a recession. Investors are obviously. Making money in this housing recession. The recession I'm talking about is the slowdown in housing activity stemming from less affordability, lower sales volume and less available inventory. But we do now have signs that we are breaking out of these housing doldrums. As far as affordability, national home prices are staying firm. But what's helping there is that mortgage rates have fallen, and we've also had wages that are rising faster than rents and wages that are rising faster than mortgage payments. In fact, wages have been rising faster than both of those for most of the last year now, and that's sourced by Freddie Mac Federal Reserve stats and rental listings on Redfin. Yes, year over year, American wages are up 4.1% rents are up 2.6% and mortgage payments are basically unchanged over the past year, up just two tenths of 1% and of course, these facts, combined with lower mortgage rates, all supports more real estate price growth. Now to kick off the show, I mentioned how real estate stocks and gold all recently hit all time highs. Well, that's denominated in perpetually based dollars, of course. However, one thing that affects you that certainly has not reached all time highs is the level of available homes, the number of homes for sale, that inventory is up off the recent bottom in 2022 yet it is still below pre pandemic levels. We have had quite a recovery here. National active listings definitely on the rise. They are up 21% between today and this time last year. Well, that means that buyers have gained leverage, mostly across the south, where lots of new building has occurred, and some areas of the West as well. Yet today, we are still, overall here 11% below 2019 inventory level. So nationally, we're basically still 11% below pre pandemic housing inventory levels. And in the Midwest and Northeast, the cupboard looks even more bare than that, since new construction totally hasn't kept up there, we will see what happens. But with the recent drop in mortgage rates, buyers might take more of that available inventory off the shelf. But here's the twist that I've heard practically no one else talk about no media source, no one in conversation. Nobody. It is the paucity of available starter homes. It's the entry level home segment that has the great scarcity, and it's these low cost properties that are the ones that make the best rental properties. Their paucity is jaw dropping, as sourced by the Census Bureau and Freddie Mac starter home construction in the US. I mean, it is just fallen precipitously. Are you even aware of the trend? All right, defined as a home of 1400 square feet or less, all right, that's what we're calling a starter home. Their share of new construction that was 40% back in 1982 Yeah, 40% of new built homes were starter homes. Then by the year 2000 it fell to just a 14% share, and today, only 9% of new built homes are starter homes, fewer than one in 10, and yet, that's exactly what America needs more of. So although overall housing inventory is still low, it's that entry level segment that is really chronically underserved, and that won't change anytime soon, we remain mired in a starter home slump because builders find it more profitable to build higher end homes and luxury homes. Yet for anyone that owns this workforce rental property, which is the same thing we've been focused on doing here on this show, from day one, you are sitting in an asset class that's going to remain stubbornly in demand over the long term. And when it comes to starter homes, the ones Investors love most, they are more scarce than bipartisan agreement in Congress, really. That is the takeaway here.    Keith Weinhold  14:39   So last week, I had an interesting in person meet up at a coffee shop with a 19 year old college student because he's a real estate enthusiast, rapping Gen Z there. He's an athlete too, an 800 meter runner. Well, his dad read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and his dad has 60 rental properties. Where they're from in Wisconsin, and maybe you're wondering, oh, come on, what could I learn from this 19 year old? I don't think that way. Now, I told him about some foundational GRE principles like financially free, beats debt free and things like that. It was also insightful to get his take on how he sees the world, and for me to learn what his professors are teaching him about real estate investing in his classes, he talked about how his professors show them, for example, what affects apartment cap rates. Also about how, whenever they run the numbers on a property, it always works out better to get the debt, get that mortgage, and how that leverage increases total rates of return. I was really happy that he's learning that over there at the university, but I was really impressed how at age 19, he's responsible and understands so much about society, politics, investing, athletics and even diet. I mean, this guy is rare, talking about his preference for avoiding food cooked in seed oils and choosing beef tallow instead. He also lamented on how Generation Z is so screwed up, saying that no one reads, no one's having kids, no one can buy a home, no one's going to be able to buy a home, and that people his age are so used to looking at screens that they're anxious about in person interactions, even in person, food ordering from a waiter at a restaurant gives them anxiety. He and I are planning to go running together next week. We'll see how that goes. As a college 800 meter runner, he's going to have the speed advantage on me, but we're running up a steep, 40 minute long trail where I've got a shot at an endurance advantage. So it was rather interesting to get his take and see what college professors are teaching on real estate. I mean, this generation that's coming of age now, Gen Z is the worst generation since George Washington to have it worse off than their parents. I'm going to talk about that today, shortly. next week, on the show here, I plan to help you learn about what's going on with some real estate niches and what their future looks to be over the next 10 to 20 years, including mobile home park real estate and parking lot real estate, one of these asset classes I really don't like the future of That's all next week on the future of some certain real estate niches. Straight ahead today, I want to tell you about mortgage rates in a way that you've never thought about before and more about the war on the young and the vanishing middle class. I'm Keith Weinhold.

Listen to get rich education with my friend Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your Daydream.   Speaker 1  19:49   Welcome back to. Get Rich Education. I'm your host. Keith Weinhold, as a reminder that show the real estate commission starring our friend Todd Drolet, who is a guest on the show here with us at the beginning of this month, it starts October 10, on A and E, that's that reality based commercial real estate show. Late last year, the Fed lowered interest rates, and they're doing the same thing again this year, when interest rates rise and fall, think of it like a wall that's being raised and lowered. Cutting rates is like lowering the height of a wall or a dam. That's because it allows for the free flow of capital. Savings rate accounts. Well, since they'll now pay at a lower rate with this rate cut, they're more likely to get shifted out and invested somewhere and flow into something else, driving up that other asset's value. Mortgages are more likely to originate because you pay less interest. Lowering rates lowers the impediment to the flow of money. It eases that flow. Oppositely, raising rates is like increasing the height of a wall or a dam, because if your savings account rate goes from 4% up to 5% oh well, you more likely to keep it parked there a higher wall or dam around your money, and raising rates makes your mortgage costs higher, so you're more likely to stay put and not move money around, constrained by the higher wall, that's how interest rates are like walls and lower walls also increase inflation, since they increase The flow of money, and hence the demand for goods and services. Well, then why did the Fed cut rates, lowering the wall opening the door for inflation this last time? Well, I think you know that was due to the evidence of a sputtering job market. You know that, if you follow this stuff, a slowing job market slows the flow of money, hence why they lowered the wall to increase the flow. Now this might translate to even lower mortgage rates. It does have that loose correlation anyway, and this should lift the housing market. But here's the real problem. Inflation is higher than the Fed wants already, and it's still rising, and they cut rates, making it more likely to rise further. This is like pouring gasoline on a campfire while yelling, don't worry. I got this sure the fire burns brighter, all right, but you might lose your eyebrows. The risk here is that these rate cuts will make inflation spike, since lower rates makes everyone less likely to save and more likely to borrow and spend, this pushes up prices even farther and faster, and this is the Fed's dangerous game. This is the crux about why the Fed is between a rock and a hard place. Ideally, the Fed only cuts of inflation is at or below their 2% target, but understand it hasn't even been there one time in nearly five years. Now, year over year, inflation was 2.7% last month and rose to 2.9% this month. The price of almost everything is up even faster than it usually goes up, beef, housing, haircuts, flamin hot, Cheetos, everything as we know this inflation that's now positioned to pick up again. However, for us, this is the long term engine that makes our real estate profitable. It makes it easier to raise rents, all while your principal and interest payment stays fixed. Inflation cannot touch that like a mosquito buzzing against a window, and let's be real, official inflation numbers are like Instagram filters. They are shaved down, touched up and airbrushed. The government massages them with tricks like hedonics, the wave of inflation that peaked at 9% in 2022 that has already widened the distance between the haves and the have nots, like the Grand Canyon, eviscerating so much of the middle class. And now the powers that be are setting up a scenario for another wave of elevated, long term inflation. This could get dire. Look like I was saying earlier the generation coming of age today is the first one since George Washington to have it worse off than their parents. Do You understand the profundity of this? They had the lowest home ownership rate, and they're the poorest, often leaving them directionless, anxious, depressed, drug addicted and even suicidal for. The first time in US history, Americans are on track to be poorer, sicker and lonelier than their parents. They will make even less than their parents did at the same age, and that's despite having a college degree. Inflation is a big reason for that, and that's what I help you solve here. I can't really help you with the depression stuff. That's not really my role with what I do here in the show. But inflation, in getting behind is one contributor to all these things. Understand, in 1989 those under age 40, they held 12% of household wealth. Today it's just 7% older Americans got rich, and they basically locked the gates behind them. Those over age 70 only held 19% of US wealth in 1989 now it's 30% Harvard's endowment has grown 500% since 1980 that's adjusting for inflation, but yet their class size hasn't grown. I mean, this is just more evidence that old money wins and young people are losing and cannot get ahead in 2019 the federal government spent eight times more per capita on seniors than they did kids. We all know that Gen Z is delaying marriage, home ownership and family formation in 1993 60% of 30 to 34 year olds had at least one child. Today, it's gone all the way down to 27% in about 30 years, that's fallen from 60% down to 27% this is not a resource problem. It's a values problem and an inflation problem, and also the tax code, values owning assets which older people have over labor, which younger people have. This is the crux of the war on the young and the war on those that don't own assets. You've got to wonder, is it even fixable? Some of it is, but no one really wants to fix inflation, and now they're lowering rates to open the door for even more of that widening that canyon, yes, the wave of inflation that started four to five years ago that broke down the middle class, and now it's set up to widen even more. I want to tell you what you can do about that shortly. But first, have you ever wondered, why do we even stratify upper, middle and lower class based on somebody's income? Why the income criterion, if you say that someone's upper class, everyone knows what that means. It means that you have a lot of wealth or income. But why is that the basis? Why do we classify it based on income? Well, it really started forming during the Industrial Revolution of the 1700s and 1800s that began in Great Britain. Before that, class distinctions were usually based on land ownership or nobility or occupation, for example, aristocrats versus peasants. But as industrial capitalism spread out of the UK, wages became the dominant way that people made a living. So tracking income, it sort of became this natural way to map out class. And then this notion spread in the 1800s and 1900s that was propelled through both economics and social science. You had thinkers like Karl Marx and Max Weber that were deeply concerned with class. Marx emphasized ownership of the means of production. You've probably heard that before, capitalists versus workers. But as societies modernized people in the world of both Economics and Psychology, they agreed that income was an easier dividing line than ownership alone. And then, starting last century, in the US, the 1900s income statistics, they became rather central in all of these policies that we make, like our tax system and poverty thresholds and qualifying for housing programs and even welfare benefits. See, they all rely on income bands. And over time, this normalized in our vernacular, these strata of upper middle and lower class sort of this income based shorthand that we use, throwing these terms around. So whether we like it or not, classes are based on your income level, and that's how it came into being. Well, with. A quick history lesson with the eroding of the middle class, with the war on the young. What can you actually do to make sure that you find yourself on the upper income side of it without falling to the lower side the lower class? Well, we know who the future financial losers are going to be. It is anyone not owning assets, and it's also savers clutching their dollars as those dollars quietly melt like ice cubes in July, right in their hand. Those are who the financial losers are going to be. Who are the winners going to be? It is asset owners riding the inflation wave, and the winners are also debtors who get to pay back tomorrow with cheaper dollars today, especially with that debt that you have outsourced to tenants. Here's the big takeaway, if you did not grab enough real assets during the last wave of inflation don't get left behind this time, because the longer you wait, the harder it is to jump aboard this moving train that keeps getting momentum and moving faster. The bottom line here is that at GRE we advocate for simply doing it all at once. Use debt to own real assets while inflation pushes up your rents. That's it, right. There it is. That's really the most concise way to orate the formula. Look in your mortgage loan documents. It does not say that you have to repay the mortgage loan in dollars or their equivalent. It only says you have to repay in dollars. That's your advantage. As dollars keep trending closer to worthless. To review what you've learned so far today, real estate is easier to understand and has more control than stocks. Housing has been in a recession, but there's more evidence that it is thawing, and a setup for more inflation has America poised to exacerbate the war on the young and widen the canyon between the haves and the have nots, and it threatens to get even wider as the middle class keeps vanishing and struggling.   Keith Weinhold  32:23   Now, if you like good free information, like with what I've been sharing with you today, and you find yourself doing a bit too much scrolling for quality written real estate and finance info.

Steve reached 2 million lifetime miles on United Airlines this week, which meant party hats and free drinks on his flight to Washington (yet still no invitation to join Global Services), but despite all that he botched the YouTube livestream of this episode, such that the 12 subscribers who tried to tune in live saw only Steve, could neither see nor hear John Yoo (this week's hosts) or Lucretia. So we'll try to get it fixed, hopefully before Steve reaches the 3 million mile mark in a month or two.You can guess the topics: The Comey indictment (two-and-a-half thumbs up), the prospects for the upcoming government shutdown where, for once, Republicans have all the high cards, and then some extended discussion of Steve's article on how to apply Max Weber's famously dense lecture "Politics as a Vocation" to the deteriorating political atmosphere that contributed to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. More to come on that, including how Steve's threat to grind up some Thomas Aquinas to put in John's tea to see if it has any effect on him.Given the lede of this episode and the title, you can easily guess the exit bumper music, though it's a cover rather than the original artist.

We open today's ad-free episode with a whimsical look at the global sensation over the Number One Netflix show, "K-Pop Demon Hunters," and despite his Korean heritage, John Yoo can't explain it either. But near as we can tell, this anime cartoon show is somewhat classic melodrama, where the demons deserve defeat. And though it may seem a frivolous leap, we wonder about the demonic aspects of the larger story about Charlie Kirk's murder, with Steve recalling Max Weber's line—meant especially for young people—that "he who lets himself in for politics, that is, for power and force as means, contracts with diabolical powers..." After reviewing the week's controversies over free speech and the mercy-killing of Jimmy Kimmel's pathetic late night show, we get down to one root of the larger problem—the inability of so-called progressives to brook any dissent from their party line, the lack of any introspection about any possible defects of their worldview, which was the primary object of Charlie Kirk's campus interrogatories. We'll come back to this subject in the coming weeks, because we sense a full-scale, China-syndrome level progressive meltdown is under way.You'll want to listen all the way to the end of this episode, for our extended exit bumper music, from Harrison Tinsley: "Charlie Kirk (Remember Your Name)."

Are we already living in some kind of fascist or technocratic dystopia? How do we avert the AI dystopia? These are the types of things that you'll see thrown about in op-eds and analysis pieces all over the net and the press. Dystopia is doing some kind of work in our political vocabulary that goes beyond a reference to those iconic dystopian novels or their sort of contemporary successors. … Sometimes politics seems to be so absorbed in the train of fantasy and the imaginary that it becomes worrying. But like it or not, or like specific expressions of the political imagination or not, the political arena is an arena of the imagination. Habermas once said that people don't fight for abstractions, but they do battle with images.                                                                                                                    – Matthew Benjamin Cole, NBN interview 2025 After centuries of contemplating utopias, late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century writers began to warn of dystopian futures. Yet these fears extended beyond the canonical texts of dystopian fiction into post-war discourses on totalitarianism, mass society, and technology, as well as subsequent political theories of freedom and domination. Fear the Future: Dystopia and Political Imagination in the Twentieth Century (U of Michigan Press, 2025) demonstrates the centrality of dystopian thinking to twentieth century political thought, showing the pervasiveness of dystopian images, themes, and anxieties. Offering a novel reading of major themes and thinkers, Fear the Future explores visions of the future from literary figures such as Yevgeny Zamyatin, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell; political theorists such as Max Weber, Hannah Arendt, Herbert Marcuse, Jürgen Habermas, and Michel Foucault; and mid-century social scientists such as Erich Fromm, Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, David Reisman, C. Wright Mills, and Jacques Ellul. It offers a comparative analysis of distinct intellectual and literary traditions, including modern utopianism and anti-utopianism, mid-century social science, Frankfurt School critical theory, and continental political philosophy. With detailed case studies of key thinkers from the Enlightenment to the late twentieth century, the book synthesizes secondary literature and research from a range of disciplinary areas, including in political theory, intellectual history, literary studies, and utopian studies. This wide-ranging reconstruction shows that while dystopian thinking has illustrated the dangers of domination and dehumanization, it has also illuminated new possibilities for freedom.
