Bell, Tom W.
Your Next Government :From the Nation State to Stateless Nations - Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2018 - xiii, 258p.
includes conclusion, appendices and index
Governments across the globe have begun evolving from lumbering bureaucracies into smaller, more agile special jurisdictions - common-interest developments, special economic zones, and proprietary cites. Private providers increasingly deliver services that political authorities formerly monopolized, inspiring greater competition and efficiency, to the satisfaction of citizens-qua-consumers. These trends suggest that new networks of special jurisdictions will soon surpass nation-states in the same way that networked computers replaced mainframes. In this groundbreaking work, Tom W. Bell describes the quiet revolution transforming governments from the bottom up, inside-out, worldwide, and how it will fulfil its potential to bring more freedom, peace, and prosperity to people everywhere
