Peak Human: Lessons from the Rise and Fall of Golden Ages with Johan Norberg
Each golden age has a unique lesson to teach us about the world we hope to live in today.
In this episode Jonathan Fortier talks with Johan Norberg about his new book Peak Human, which examines 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.
