[00:50.38]Wiebe then launches into his historical corrective.<br /> [00:54.82]He has three major themes<br /> [00:57.02]about the history of democracy in this country.<br /> [01:00.33]The first theme is based on his assertion that,<br /> [01:04.13]"societies organize around the rules of who works for whom,<br /> [01:09.56]and the beneficiaries protect those rules in the name of all<br /> [01:15.25]that is good in this world and holy in the next".<br /> [01:18.78]Wiebe asserts that there have been two major changes<br /> [01:22.76]in those rules in our history<br /> [01:25.30]and that
