FP019 Stateless Societies
Channel: Freedom Philosophy
Date: 03/10/2013

In this program I define the state and contrast stateless and statist societies. The critical difference is that stateless societies do not have the corporate institution of government.

There are various examples of stateless societies such as medieval Ireland, modern day Somalia* and more ancient cultures such as the aboriginal peoples of the USA.

*Somalia's so called government is being funded by Norway

Some of my previous programs deal with these topics separately:
