Farewell to Westphalia: Crypto Sovereignty and Post-Nation-State Governance, by Jarrad Hope and Peter Ludlow, Logos Press, 370 pages, $19.99
"The real problem of humanity," the biologist E.O. Wilson once said, is that "we have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology."
In their new book, Farewell to Westphalia, Jarrad Hope and Peter Ludlow argue that such technology is precisely what can take our institutions out of the medieval doldrums.
