Episode 622: Mike Maxwell on the Tribal Future of the West

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.
