Toward A New World Society, Part 2: “Lessons From History”

Presentation at Friendly House by Robert Schmidt. The world has experienced system shifts in the past, from tribal societies to city-states, city-states to empires, empires to feudalism, and feudalism to nation-states. Various commentators such as Augustine and Luther have tried to make sense of these shifts and perhaps set a pattern instructive for today. Robert Schmidt has a Ph.D. in Political Science. He has taught in various countries. Before his retirement he was a professor of Theology and Political Science at Concordia University in Portland.
