What if the Harry Potter World Were Real?

from Polymath · host Daniel Aaron Levy

The obvious answer to a 90-minute video on this is to go and touch grass, but really: if the Harry Potter world genuinely existed, what would it look like? If there’s a wizarding world… is there wizarding communism? A wizarding Karl Marx? Was there a wizarding civil rights movement? Is there wizarding nationalism? Is Wizarding Russia currently attacking Wizarding Ukraine?The Harry Potter universe is a fictional world written for children that is not meant to be taken seriously. What does it look like if we do? In true Polymath fashion, we conduct a massive synthesis of politics, economics, sociology, demography, psychology, history, and global political economy to answer a question that nobody asked. Along the way, we'll be covering a good deal of info about all of these and learning new insights into how Western society works.I've also (☝️🤓) made another Harry Potter episode about the world's macroeconomics (Episode 3), and will soon be lovingly birthing another episode about my own personal rewrite of the series according to (social) scientific rules and phenomena. Despite appearances, I don't actually really care about Harry Potter (honest), but I do care about giving you guys entertaining yappery to kick back to that you can also learn some real, useful information from. With that said, enjoy!
