About this listen

Embark on a captivating journey through time with "From Serf to Citizen" as author Benjamin Miller, armed with a unique blend of business acumen and legal expertise, delves into the fascinating interplay between medieval structures and contemporary society. Unveiling the historical tapestry of serfdom, Miller skillfully navigates through the annals of time to provide a rich understanding of the roots that have shaped our modern world.

From the burdensome taxation that weighed heavily on the shoulders of serfs to the echoes of this financial struggle in today's societies, the book masterfully explores the enduring impact of economic structures. As you traverse the chapters, the narrative seamlessly transitions into an exploration of mobility, contrasting the limitations faced by individuals in medieval times with the complexities of modern movement.

"Under Watchful Eyes" exposes the evolution of surveillance in societies, drawing intriguing parallels between historical oversight and contemporary surveillance mechanisms that shape our daily lives. Miller then unveils the persistent themes of dependence on higher powers, underscoring how individuals, both then and now, navigate complex systems to secure their place in society. "Toiling for Basics" ventures into the heart of work and labor rights, providing a thought-provoking examination of the struggle for fair treatment and dignified work conditions. The narrative expands to address the shadows of inequality across ages, exploring the intricate web of land and wealth concentration that transcends time.

"From Serf to Citizen" is a meticulously researched and thought-provoking work that invites listeners to reflect on the persistence of medieval structures in shaping the contours of our modern lives. Benjamin Miller's multidimensional approach, blending historical insight with legal acuity, creates a compelling narrative that resonates with anyone curious about the profound connections between our past and present.
