December 18, 2025·46 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode Jonathan Fortier talks with Johan Norberg about his new book Peak Human, which explores seven golden ages to reveal the common thread that makes societies thrive. Their conversation explores not only what went wrong when these civilizations collapsed, but the lessons to be learnt about what was done right. Openness, Norberg argues, has historically triumphed over withdrawal from the rest of the world.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
