051 - Political Patronage w/ Bog Beef & Maarek

Bog Beef and Maarek of the Good Ol Boyz Podcast Join me to discuss Patronage and its relation to Cultural Anthropology. We discuss the breakdown of China in the 19th century, the difference between a Mafia and a Government and that leads into the concept of power and legitimacy in the post Civil War South, Reconstruction. We discuss power struggles between the Federal and State Governments and the dead concept of Federalism. We discuss how we know we are in historical moments and the diffusion of responsibility inherent in governments and corporations. We talk about how ESG makes corporations money and how the concept of the corporation has been altered from its original purpose. Bog tells us about Evergreen College being destroyed. I discuss the new NAGPRA rule changes, we end on Art Theft and Intangible value.
