In this episode, Will and shampoo manufacturing king turned gentleman farmer and book reviewer Charles Haywood discuss the relative merits of an aristocratic social order compared to the present managerial regime. They also discuss how and why the aristocracy died, why the English model of landed rule was so much better than the others, the roots of an aristocratic order, and why aristocracy and democracy are incompatible. Finally, they discuss Haywood’s concept of “Armed Patronage Networks” and how young men ought to prepare for the future.
