Is Monarchy Better? with Dr. James Orr

In the United States, we don't have a good history with royalty. As Lorde so aptly put it, we will never be royals. In fact, most of Western history has been one long slide away from monarchies. While the transition hasn't always been smooth, it's been consistent, and even in the UK, the monarchy is coming under severe attack. It seems that if we can agree on anything, it's that kings and queens are positively medieval.

Is that correct? It's rarely challenged, yet it's a question worth asking: Did we make a mistake by getting rid of royal lineages? Believe it or not, there are many today who think so, and Dr. James Orr, a Cambridge philosopher and guest on Jordan Peterson's Exodus series, joins us to defend the place of monarchy in our 21st-century world.
