Silvio Micali and the History of Stigmatism

Silvio Micali, a prominent economist and banker, discusses the history of stigmatism with Lexman. They discuss how socially constructed ideas about 'crazy' and 'dirty' people have impacted human societies for centuries. In particular, they explore the alarming phenomenon of colonisers descending on weak and vulnerable societies, stripping them of their centuries-old traditions and way of life, in the name of 'progress'.
