Joel Kotkin discusses the makings of neo-feudalism throughout the world. From an unprecedented wealth gap to fundamentalist ideologies, Kotkin reveals the similarities between modern day society and historical feudalism.

Joel Kotkin is the Roger Hobbes Presidential Fellow in Urban Studies at Chapman University and the author of 'The Coming of Neo-Feudalism'. He is described by the New York Times as "America's uber-geographer", and is internationally recognized as the authority on global, economic and social trends.

Conversations feature John Anderson, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, interviewing the world's foremost thought leaders about today's pressing social, cultural and political issues.

John believes proper, robust dialogue is necessary if we are to maintain our social strength and cohesion. As he puts it; "You cannot get good public policy out of a bad public debate."

The majority of people have no idea what's going on and probably don't care because they are struggling to survive, not realising they are struggling for these very reasons!

The advantage peasants had, during the period of medieval feudalism, is that they could sustain a small-target strategy to survive and be happy in their community. If they lived in an area ruled by a, relatively, benevolent lord and they were harmonious with their neighbours then they could live a relatively happy and safe life. By contrast, modern feudalism will involve central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) that will allow any level of malevolent ruler (from the King, to the nobles, to the local lords & the clerics) to closely monitor and control how you engage & transact with your local community. Modern feudalism (neo-feudalism) is a far scarier than medieval feudalism.

I have stopped focusing on how we the people allowed this to happen on our watch - and focus now on what we must do to prevent this evil from gaining even more control. Thank you both for all that you are doing .

Love your work, John.
There are few places which deliver common sense and full context.
And few people who even seek them!

I have been thinking about this so much lately….About 20% of homes (currently and climbing) in America are owned and rented by Wall Street firms…..and creating a system where the Haves are binding the have-nots to they land through high rent prices and low wages….housing is so unaffordable…and all long term gains in property values go only to the people who are already filthy rich. Mix in some foreign wars paid on the backs of the middle class…plus inefficient taxation policies…all on top of a Unitary Party (in America where the extremes of each side of the political spectrum seem to be the most rational) and we have a recipe for a Populist Uprising (like seen on Jan 6, or in Brazil). And thats just the beginning.

This is good but I get the feeling Kotkin pulls his punches when he really should be more frank and forthright. For example, around @6:13 he mentions the 'two classes united in opposition to', and then he pauses and stumbles trying to find the right words before eventually saying 'the Trump people and Republicans in general'. NO! They stand in opposition to EVERYONE. If you are not part of their clique then you are a target. Trump famously said, "They’re coming after me because I’m fighting for you" and it's true. The only way to win is to be fearless and truthful. I suppose all academics these days constantly face the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads so it must be difficult finding the right balance.
Good conversation. The interesting thing about the history of feudalism is it cuts across party lines and continues unabated regardless of the party in power, as fact that more people should be made aware of. Anderson should be commended. He has a continually excellent and diverse range of guests.

C'mon John. This has come as a surprise to you? Didn't the party you were Deputy PM of promote these exact same principles? Don't forget that the base of neo-feudalism has been the neo-liberal agenda. You know, open borders, free trade and privatisation of assets, meaning disregard of the sovereign citizens of your nation. Fine, you may seek redemption about speaking about it now, but what were you doing about it when you were in power? And can you influence the current leadership of your party, the LNP, or that of the opposition? Change starts at the top.

Electric cars are a wash. Everyone knows it's a bad idea, at this point so we're switching to the little bitty acronym EV to make it sound a little cooler. And no you must not ask why, because the answer goes completely against the purpose for replacing gasoline with electricity in the first place

"For more than seventy years the ... professors of political science, history, law, geography and philosophy eagerly imbued their disciples with a hysterical hatred of capitalism, and preached the war of “liberation” against the capitalistic West."

Oh, wait, that's what Mises said about the German professors and how the trained generations of students to what became National Socialism once the Germans embraced the violence of the Bolsheviks. And it telling we are just over 70 years from the end of the war to put down those believers. By 1950, the professors in the Anglosphere had taken up the flag from their German fellows to continue their ideology.

Some good points, but then turns into a dangerous and fallacious relativism regarding the scientific consensus. Even if the scientific consensus evolves it is the current scientific consensus that describes reality in the most accurate way given all the available data. According if the scientific consensus is that smoking cigarettes is bad for health and you care about your health, it is rational not to pick up smoking. Yes, the science night evolve and in a few year your doctor night find that as a carrier of a rare gene-mutation smoking is beneficial for you, but this possibility is not a rational reason to disregard the current scientific consensus.

Fundamentalism is the frim belief of in the capitalist structures, restructured to the purpose of the wealth accumulation. Money above all.

Immensely important analysis that few are talking about. It's a shame the presentation is salted with vacuous anti-Trump virtue signalling that does nothing more than the speaker's pseudo-religious, congenital commitment to government solutions for all problems.
