Titus Gebel: Breaking the Political Cycle
“It’s inevitable that if you have a legislative body, then over time the number of laws will increase, the taxes will increase, indebtedness will increase and the number of people who are not productive will increase. That is in my view, absolutely inevitable.
So you have to change the system… And I have made a proposal on how to do that.”
It’s another of my discussions from Montenegro again this week on the podcast and this time it’s part one of two conversations I had with none other than the Founder and President of the Free Cities Foundation himself, Titus Gebel.
Now, since most of you will know who Titus is I will keep this intro brief. Obviously, he has done many interviews before so I tried my best to keep this conversation away from the usual Free Private Cities talking points and delve a little deeper into the history of different city-state models and their modern-day incarnations. I also got to probe a little into Titus’s own history and motivations as well as some of his predictions for the future of the idea that government should be a service.
We recorded together on two separate occasions and part two of this conversation will be a deep dive into medieval city-states which is a discussion I’ve been pining to have for many months now, so look out for that one over the next few weeks.
Enjoy the conversation.
