Episode 168. 🇬🇧 The Exit from Democracy. The project shaping our world - QUINN SLOBODIAN
NB: si vous comprenez mal l'anglais, la VF doublée est aussi disponible.
How markets, law, and technology are reshaping sovereignty. With Quinn Slobodian.
Where does power really reside today?
If capitalism no longer operates within the boundaries of nation-states, what happens to democracy? Who governs a world shaped by tax havens, special economic zones, and private infrastructures? And what if some of the most influential actors are no longer trying to win political power, but to escape it altogether?
In this conversation with historian Quinn Slobodian, we explore the deeper logic behind neoliberalism, the rise of “exit” politics, and the growing fragmentation of sovereignty.
A discussion about the shifting relationship between capital and democracy, and what it means for the future of our political systems.
