". . . there is now much evidence to suggest that the long history of humanity is one of tinkering between different modes of governance : either more egalitarian or hierarchic, with some societies even going back and forth between the two modes according to the seasons."
Yes! My reading is taking me there, too. Charles C. Mann's 1491 and James C. Scott's Against the Grain both explore early civilizations on both sides of the Atlantic and have found the same thing. Your post is an excellent read. Thank you.
Really great post, Sandhya! I'm so glad our paths crossed in that breakout room, because I find this topic so fascinating -- the manager-turned-parental figurehead is the whole reason that I decided to become a freelancer a few years back. Makes me wonder if a role at a self-governed business could work! Excited to read more of your posts about this.
Powerful thought piece. As I am hoping to build my own company to beyond myself (solo-preneur isn't all it's cracked up to be), I am looking forward to being inspired by your words and your experience. Thank you!

Thanks so much ! And thanks for referencing these names, I'll check them out. Your support means a lot :)
Super interesting to hear your experience. Looking forward to future posts on this topic!
Some very interesting notions here....I definitely will bear this in mind as I build my venture.
