Episode 8: Power, the great leveller and biting our tongues

This episode we discuss types of power from Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan. We muse over inequality and what it takes to stop it through the lens of Walther Scheidel's "The Great Leveller". We discuss politics and why we hate talking about politics (we like to think all our opinions on economics are just common sense and are in no way political). We bet on whether TSMC can ever be taken down from their dominant spot manufacturing chips and, of course, bring you new ways to play and break world records in Diablo II.Please contact us (we're so lonely) or support us on Patreon!Piketty - Capital and the 21st centuryHousehold wealth inequality in AustraliaHunter gatherer inequalityBrian did edit the shareholder value wikipedia page!Amazon gives open source the middle finger "In effect, it’s a hosted drop-in replacement for MongoDB that doesn’t use any MongoDB code "Google LLC v Oracle America Brian's vote compassChris' vote compassScott Alexander's Statement on New York Times ArticleLeviathan Chapter X - HobbesThe Great leveler: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century - by Walter ScheidelBig list of coffee betsMacro Bio Boi - LoD completion in 7 minutesThread on the dashact5 mode
