James Dales Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg’s The Sovereign Individual begins ominously, stating that “The advent of the year 2000 has haunted the Western imagination for the last thousand years.” At that point, the author goes on to claim that the information revolution will surely subvert and destroy the nation state, as globalization and cyber commerce (not to mention cyber currency) will slowly but surely diminish the power and influence of governments in what Regarding taxes. , politics, lobbyists and unions. Furthermore, the author claims that even regulated professionals will lose their authority as talent “democratizes.” The work environment will give way to telework, while citizenship will become obsolete. However, Davidson’s prophecy about the future fused with technology does not end there. He also predicts that the 21st century (and onwards) will produce its own medieval mercantile republics that will form its own legislative proposals, mafias, undercover agencies, and criminal gangs.

However, author James Dales Davidson is not ranting about doom, he actually offers a very in-depth analysis of the current world scene, a world torn between financial freedom and financial control, all facilitated by the information age. In his book he writes about a possible social transformation eerily reminiscent of ancient America: the Roman Empire. He also likens the advent of digital technology to the gunpowder revolution. The theme of all this? The rise of the sovereign individual and the death of mass democracy, as well as the welfare state. James Dale Davidson is the author of this controversial but politically insightful book on the dire effects of the information age.

James Dale Davidson may already be known to you as an American investment newsletter writer, as well as the author of other subject-oriented books such as The Great Reckoning and Blood in the Streets. He has co-authored all three books with William Rees-Mogg. Professionally, Davidson is the founder and former director of the National Taxpayers Union, and worked on Project Arkansas against President Bill Clinton, as well as being an investor at NewsMax.com. Davidson went from graduating from Oxford University and working as an assistant to serving as CFO and now best-selling author. In fact, the Sovereign Individual spawned a group called the “Sovereign Society” dedicated to individual financial freedom and libertarianism.

While Davidson’s book certainly has a dark undertone, it is not a book of doom. The central point is how to survive and benefit from the digital revolution: how to invest, find tax shelters, avoid criminal companies and even promote your own business on the Internet. “The Sovereign Individual” is Davidson’s most critically acclaimed book. The Library Journal calls The Sovereign Individual “visionary … highly recommended for academic libraries.”

Readers have also expressed appreciation for Davidson’s work, calling his book a must-read for anyone who wants to avoid the coming crises and remain financially independent. Touchstone originally published this book in 1999 and now its once implausible predictions are gradually becoming a very real possibility, especially in the face of the financial collapse of many banks in the United States and around the world.

You can still order The Sovereign Individual online (of course … who buys anything at a physical bookstore these days?) And see what all this 21st century hype is all about!
