Titus Gebel: Medieval City-States
“Historical examples are very important because if you come up with a new idea that has never been tried and tested in what I call the market of living together, then there’s a high probability that it will not work otherwise it would have already existed in some form or another. “
On the podcast this week I’m back with Titus Gebel for another conversation and the subject of our discussion this time is medieval city-states.
Titus is of course very knowledgeable about governance models from this time in history and we spend our time exploring the rise and fall of free imperial city models and what it might have been like to live within such a system. We also look for inspiration from the past to discover if there are any lessons that we may be able to learn from these historical Free Cities in order to apply them to their modern-day incarnations.
Enjoy the conversation.
