Ep. 119 The Danger of Complete Anarchy with Robert Kaplan
Robert Kaplan and Jason Pack provide their insights on the rise of populism, global crises, and the lessons of the Weimar Republic in this thought-provoking episode.
In this episode Jason Pack is joined by Robert Kaplan: a New York Times bestselling author whose famous books Balkan Ghosts, the Coming Anarchy, the Arabists, and The Revenge of Geography have been extremely influential in developing the concept of the 'Enduring Disorder'. As part of our partnership with the New Books Network, we discuss his latest book, Waste Land: A World in Permanent Crisis.
Robert and Jason discuss the rise of populism, the impact of globalisation, and the decline of institutions and leadership. Plus: the significance of constitutional monarchy and the current decline of the major global powers. And as they Order the Disorder – they look at how the failure of the neo-populists will hopefully lead to more trust in experts, and how the Weimar republic can teach us lessons.
Producer: George McDonagh
