    1. This book called Farewell to Westphalia is making the case that the system of sovereign nation-states we’ve lived under since 1648 might be on its last legs. The authors (Jarrad Hope + Peter Ludlow) think decentralized, blockchain-based “network states” could be the alternative.

      Sounds wild, but given how global crises, tech, and non-state actors are shaking up the old order, I don’t think it’s totally far-fetched.

      Do you think we’re just in turbulence, or actually on the cusp of a new kind of political order?

      No. We’re heading towards a world where the West is more right leaning and authoritarian because the professional class is trying to shove a “post national” world down the the throats of the working class.

      Hope this helps.

      In a way yes. Corporations wield international power that is sometimes greater than smaller countries. Big movements, coordinated by a relatively small number of people and an even smaller elite. How nations states are involved in the ownerships of them is as much a mystery to ordinary people, as is the identities and agendas of the elite.

      u/Calm_hands might find Neal Stephensons ”The Diamond Age” an interesting read.
