About this episode:
Tereza and I discuss her book "How to Dismantle an Empire" in this conversation. This is a fascinating, well-researched, and easy yet enjoyable read. Full of interesting facts and myth-busters. We explore the hidden power structures that have shaped societies for centuries. We discuss the role of Archons, wealthy landowners who maintained control through nepotism, and how the illusion of social mobility in ancient Greece was tied to military service and the perpetuation of slavery. We also examine how these rulers installed democracy not as a means of true representation but as a tool to consolidate their power while giving the illusion that the masses had a say in how their lives were run. This raises the question: is democracy really all it's cracked up to be, or is it just another mechanism of control?

We also examine the evolution of economic systems, from gift economies and bartering to the introduction of money and usury, which created cycles of debt and control. Language, too, has been manipulated throughout history to invert meanings and shape narratives, often turning victims into perpetrators.

Another key theme we discuss is the feminisation of society, not in the sense of true empowerment, but as a tool to drive economic productivity while undermining community and motherhood. We reflect on how ethical codes have eroded, how religion has often served as a means of control rather than a moral guide, and how the same power structures have persisted throughout history in different forms.

This conversation is about reclaiming agency, recognising how history has been shaped, how economic and social systems influence our lives, and the importance of community, self-reliance, and personal responsibility in challenging these structures.

Much love
