Anyone interested in this topic, at least how it happened in the United States should check out the Behind the Bastards episodes titled “How the Rich Ate Christianity”
The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism by Max Weber (1905)
Fairly certain that informed that episode but I do need to read that in its entirety myself
I am, been waiting for an excuse to finally look at that podcast. that seems like as good of an entry point as any
Feel free to PM me for other good ep recommendations, huge fan of Robert for years and am a glutton for historically depressing stories
Oh it's a really good introduction episode. Heavy but ridiculous
Related to Thiel, check out The Coming Storm, too. I think it's that podcast that keeps returning to The Sovereign Individual as something that ties a lot of these nuts together.
Thanks for spreading the word on this! Ever since I knew of it I keep trying to spread awareness too!
My friend you do not understand how happy I am to talk about this topic at length and spread awareness. Appreciate you too!
Another recommendation for anyone reading this and interested is the book Jesus and John Wayne.
