The Sovereign Individual
Mastering the Transition to the Information Age
Book • 1999
The book explores the greatest economic and political transition in centuries, predicting the shift from an industrial to an information-based society.
Davidson and Rees-Mogg argue that this transition will liberate individuals, alter the power of government, and lead to the rise of digital currency and cyberspace.
They foresee a future where individuals will be freed from government oppression and prejudice, and where states will struggle to collect taxes due to the ease of transferring assets electronically.
The authors also discuss the potential for prosperity and renewal in the face of radical changes in human history as we move into the new millennium.
