What is the Nature of Power?
How does power function? What are the effects of power? Is it necessary?
This episode seeks to introduce the listener to some thoughts on the
concept of power, in both the concentration of it on one hand, and the
lack of it on the other. Power can be concentrated in both institutions
and individuals, but if we seek to solve the big problems of our time,
we cannot focus simply on changing those individuals, or abolishing
specific institutions. We must, instead, come to ask questions about the
nature of power, itself, and thus, how such institutions and
individuals are able to exist in the first place.
