One of the things that the ancients
I think showed was that, or discovered,
was that politics was not a dirty word.
But it was a word we're more of a
revelation that we can actually control
our fate we don't have to defer to some
tyrant or to some priests high priest or
God just when we actually human beings
can control our fates imagine a better
world and actually materialize a better
world and I think we need to bring back
that spirit of politics so being able to
believe that we can control our fate and
that we can change the world
in a way we want to imagine it being
changed and then democracy was was was
invented if you like as an innovation in
innovation to make sure that there was
no abuse of power that not one person or
one caste or one class could take power
and abuse it abuse of power was hubris
was anathema to the gods but also a way
of collectively making decisions the so
how do we make sure that we deal with
the concentration of power today and we
are seeing huge concentration of power
and this is not only within our
countries but at this sort of global
level where you have whether it's
finance whether it is Pharma whether it
is agro energy or the digital platforms
a huge concentration of power huge
concentration of wealth and through that
also capture of politics.
