This week, Josh sits down with Agustina Paglayan and Vince Beiser, to discuss their books –Raised to Obey: The Rise And Spread of Mass Education and Power Metal: The Race for the Resources That Will Shape the Future, respectively. Raised to Obey is about how the expansion of primary education in the West emerged not from democratic ideals but from the state’s desire to control it’s subjects. Power Metal is about how the move to green energy relies on specific metals that are causing ecological and economic damage today, and how we can improve this situation.
