The Midnight Kingdom Lecture Episode 2: Capitalist Apocalypse
Hey everyone, I am writing from a distant hotel room in the early-Winter United States. It is a lonely place and a lonely time, but also beautiful in its own way.
Above you will find Episode 2 of The Midnight Kingdom Lecture Series: Capitalist Apocalypse.
This lecture begins with post-Napoleon Europe, where an ambitious conservative believes he can thwart progress and control the world, creating an order that looks a lot like the one we’re living in today. Though he and his allies believe they’ve ended history, a crisis unlike anything before seen destroys those unrealistic and oppressive dreams, and gives birth to our modern world.
If you haven’t already, preorder THE MIDNIGHT KINGDOM: A HISTORY OF POWER, PARANOIA, AND THE COMING CRISIS. Every preorder helps the book and helps my work.
Hope you enjoy the lecture.
This is EXCELLENT! I have a better understanding of the history that led to this. And I have hope. Thank you for your positive comments at the end.
