In this episode of Ancast, we have the pleasure of speaking with Professor Miguel Anxo Bastos, PhD in Political Science and Economist at the University of Santiago de Compostela.
The conversation focuses on stasiology (the science of political movements), offering a profound and critical perspective on the actual workings of state power.
Professor Bastos breaks down the state into four anarchic elites that operate behind the visible political apparatus and discusses how phenomena such as coups d'état are orchestrated.
He also addresses his thesis on the scale of political units, arguing that small states tend to function better than large integration blocs (such as the European Union), and warns about the dangers of total state control through technologies like the digital euro (CBDC).
