Episode: Mike Maxwell on the Tribal Future of the West
Description: Mike Maxwell returns to Our Interesting Times to discuss his latest book The Tribal Future of the West. In the book, Maxwell offers a stark vision of the future as liberalism fragments and central authority erodes. Drawing an elite theory and comparative history, Maxwell predicts sovereignty devolving to local, tribal-like structures built on personal ethos and kinship rather than abstract law. Mike Maxwell is the founder of Imperium Press, a publishing house dedicated to reframing the Western Canon through traditional, non-liberal lenses—often emphasizing tradition, folkish perspectives, and critiques of modernity.Â
