About this episode
Max Vanderpool discusses the concept of Pharaoh as a dominant economic system and how individuals can resist it in their work lives.
Pharaoh (from the Old Testament) is both a person and a typology. And the system of pharaoh has been the DOMINANT economic system for most societies and nations since humans started farming. It's a system of more, more, and more - built off the backs of those who labor to the benefit of those who own or rule. And it's the same system - whether it's capitalism, socialism, or communism. But there IS someone who challenges the system of pharaoh - whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light. In this message, Max Vanderpool tackles the ways you and I can resist pharaoh at work.
