About this episode
Each society tells itself a story about where it came from. These foundation myths are built on our assumptions about the world and about human nature itself, and it often explains why we live in the political system that we do. Today on The Corbett Report we examine various foundation myths throughout history, from ancient Greece to modern America, from the Enlightenment to the post-Enlightenment.
