How markets, law, and technology are reshaping
sovereignty. With Quinn Slobodian.

Where does power really reside today?

If capitalism no longer operates within the boundaries of
nation-states, what happens to democracy? Who governs a world
shaped by tax havens, special economic zones, and private
infrastructures? And what if some of the most influential actors
are no longer trying to win political power, but to escape it
altogether?

In this conversation with historian Quinn Slobodian, we explore
the deeper logic behind neoliberalism, the rise of “exit”
politics, and the growing fragmentation of sovereignty.

A discussion about the shifting relationship between capital and
democracy, and what it means for the future of our political
systems.
