Decoherence of Social Systems

This audiobook explores how noble ideas like socialism, democracy, and free markets often fail in practice because they replace direct human connections with mediators that tend to serve their own interests. Using mathematical and social theories, it reveals that these ideological constructs become structural pathologies—self-sustaining and resistant to change—that can lead civilizations astray. Saint-Simon is portrayed as a sympathetic figure caught in this recurring phenomenon, illustrating why the beliefs underpinning systems can sometimes turn into their own worst enemies.
