Medieval Kingship, Liberty & the Myth of Democracy — Jeb Smith

Historian and author Jeb Smith joins Deacon Mark Campbell to challenge the conventional narrative that democracy equals freedom, making the case that medieval Catholic kingship preserved self-governance and liberty for centuries in ways modern democracy has failed to achieve. Drawing from his new book Missing Monarchy: Correcting Misconceptions About the Middle Ages, Medieval Kingship, Democracy and Liberty, Jeb argues for a return to radical decentralization rooted in a natural law understanding of governance. The book is available through Sensus Fidelium Press and Amazon.
