In the nearly 6,000 years of recorded human history, power, like gravity, seems to inevitably concentrate into the hands of one individual, sometimes called pharoah, caesar, czar, kaiser, king, caliph, emperor, monarch, sultan, president, or communist dictator. But no matter what the autocratic leader’s particular title is, the default setting for human government throughout history has been monarchy.
