The Sovereign Individual: How to Survive and Thrive During the Collapse of the Welfare State
The book’s 400-odd pages of near-hysterical orotundity can roughly be broken down into the following sequence of propositions:

1) The democratic nation-state basically operates like a criminal cartel, forcing honest citizens to surrender large portions of their wealth to pay for stuff like roads and hospitals and schools.

2) The rise of the internet, and the advent of cryptocurrencies, will make it impossible for governments to intervene in private transactions and to tax incomes, thereby liberating individuals from the political protection racket of democracy.

3) The state will consequently become obsolete as a political entity.

4) Out of this wreckage will emerge a new global dispensation, in which a “cognitive elite” will rise to power and influence, as a class of sovereign individuals “commanding vastly greater resources” who will no longer be subject to the power of nation-states and will redesign governments to suit their ends.

Wellfare state beigas nozīmē, ka visiem tiem miljoniem nignogu, kas šobrīd tikai uz tā vien dzīvo sāks taisīt nevis vienu grautiņu un mašīnu/veikalu dedzināšanu kampaņu reizi pusgadā, bet darīs to permanenti. Welcome to third world.
