In this episode of the 1Dime Radio podcast, I am joined by Professor Sabah Alnasseri, a professor of Middle Eastern Studies at York University, to discuss Ibn Khaldun and his classic text, The Muqaddimah. In particular, we discuss Ibn Khaldun's similarities with Karl Marx as a social scientist and a proto-historical materialist. Sabbah and I share a Marxist interpretation of The Muqaddimah that demystifies Ibn Khaldun's materialist class analysis and misconceptions surrounding his key concepts such as "Royal Authority," "Asabiyyah," and more.
Simultaneously a philosopher, historian, and often considered a father of modern economics as well as an early trailblazer of what would eventually become the discipline of sociology. Ibn Khaldun was among the first proper social scientists to develop a holistic "science of society" - something quite close to what we today call "historical materialism."
Part 2 (the backroom) is on the applicaton of Ibn Khaldun's thought to the current state of contemporary imperialist powers (like the US, Israel) in the face of an emerging multipolar world with Russia, China, and BRICS playing a larger role in the face of declining US Hegemony.
