It did in the past. It can do so again."<br/><br/>In Episode 176 of the podcast, I sat down with James Price - a former senior adviser across five UK government departments including the Treasury and Cabinet Office.<br/><br/>This isn't your typical political commentary. James has been inside the machine and explains, with remarkable clarity, how it actually operates.<br/><br/>Some things that stood out:<br/>→ When the UK government changed in 2024, only 200 people across the entire state changed roles. Everyone else stayed exactly where they were. → Civil servants are more likely to die in the job than be fired. → Special advisers are "constitutionally not allowed to tell civil servants what to do." → During the vaccine rollout, a minister had to tell civil servants to Google the logistics industry because they had zero experience moving anything anywhere.<br/><br/>He breaks down how democracy got eaten from the inside by the people nobody voted for. How the blob digests every election and nothing changes. How Hayek and Burnham saw all of this coming 80 years ago. And why more people are starting to ask whether the nation-state is the problem — not the solution.<br/><br/>This one's a masterclass in how the modern state actually works - and why it doesn't.<br/><a href="https://fountain.fm/episode/tuZpY3c4GgvGqdbO8qnk">https://fountain.fm/episode/tuZpY3c4GgvGqdbO8qnk</a> </blockquote> 2026-04-03T18:36:14+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsr9669f4eyafvphtqp23e2uw2xz76jdjs6afkazc2zrj0tynrgnqszyr7zgu8dr95qrhdvuhptev2220a9a60crm3kt06ftru5ccghm8hzwdy0hnx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrmu79sm6uumgtwgxxwmpsurrgzq23m7vq6ht37muy4g792u58n6s22eslp'>nevent1q…eslp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>LFG. 2025-11-14T13:03:31+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsd5fmhr7ex580zks2scmxh8pv5m55f959yq9svj4qe8lngcudelwszyr7zgu8dr95qrhdvuhptev2220a9a60crm3kt06ftru5ccghm8hzwspjyg8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxnxn2mzncr0p2n3v038t6956ylr3metpuzyslykjj646nn382qmcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uly47f0'>nevent1q…47f0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/> 2025-09-19T14:26:05+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfrrqjscrmqplc7eapye0997nu4k02wz5k8ras22c3ew0avv2e6xgzyr7zgu8dr95qrhdvuhptev2220a9a60crm3kt06ftru5ccghm8hzwlcaj7w The Free Cities Conference is coming back to Prague!<br/><br/>Join us for the chance to learn about some brand new projects including: Soubey, Sherbro Island City, Draper Nation, and Immortalis.<br/><br/>Dates: October 31 - Nov 2.<br/><br/>Tickets: <a href="https://lnkd.in/ea67R_rD">https://lnkd.in/ea67R_rD</a><br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/5b11cf0b5e1cc42d5d942ead1122770e710432fff23a02a3b68e7717ab7e1990.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/18daa4326358673d39b395a43935b22c686694769ed52bd540ca215de1fb15a2.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/5c741d7dd9af231dabdce74912df2417e5bc5d93e3669e66cbd2d82bbe63e221.jpg"> 2025-09-17T20:35:43+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxeq5zzc9746cmfqznkfdua99nezhhuue2hdk23j37xlz74jhsy4czyr7zgu8dr95qrhdvuhptev2220a9a60crm3kt06ftru5ccghm8hzwl02p0f In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswwzqxdsrqcw8nf2t6k4xjt2etjt9p9r5ndarkqap3p0qk9zn73jqjef3vs'>nevent1q…f3vs</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thanks for the shout out.

Special jurisdictions are becoming more numerous, autonomous, and are increasingly operated by private companies.<br/>2. The world&#39;s population is increasingly mobile, and people with high-value skills are shopping around, viewing governance as a service.<br/>3. Technology is enabling decentralization in numerous arenas, especially money. This gives jurisdictions more options to become financially independent.<br/><br/>What other trends will be important to the future of governance?
