      <title>Stabilization - Frozen in Place: The Tokugawa Problem and the Price of Enforced Order</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6192201041</link>
      <description>Felix Mercer examines Japan's Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1868), which froze social mobility and foreign contact for 265 years. The episode explores how enforced stability accumulates hidden debt—economic distortions, technological stagnation, and suppressed adaptation—until Commodore Perry's 1853 arrival triggered catastrophic transformation. Mercer analyzes when stabilization becomes a trap.
