What can the Reformation tell us about Twitter, Martin Luther, Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin?

What is power? How is it acquired and who owns it? We look at the economics of power, the power of networks and the "strength of weak ties" and the constant historic tension between vertical power, the type deployed by Putin, and horizontal power the type sought by Musk. Plus we explore what they can both learn from the master "influencer" of the early 16th century, Martin Luther. Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast.
