This episode looks at the history of Authoritarianism in both practical and philosophical ways. The ancient Greeks gave us democracy, but also the word for tyranny. The ancient Romans gave us the republic, but built into the system the word dictator. Plato, Confucius, and Hobbes as well as others are examined for the philosophical roots of the world's oldest government system. And the historical evolution of authoritarians is traced through the earliest civilizations to the feudal world and then towards the age of nationalism/absolutism and the 20th century. The material in this podcast serves as an introduction to the International Baccalaureates' Paper two topic 10 - Authoritarian States (20th century).
