If you voted brexit...this book is for you.

25 September 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

An extreme far right libertarian dystopian view of the future that his son JRM appears to be willing along with his WTO no deal Brexit plans. Yes...the information age is upon us and the impact of goverments being unprepared has led to western liberal democracy being challenged. This has resulted in a rise of nationalism across the globe. If you voted Brexit because you believe Britain can be a great sovereign state outside the EU...then read this book and you will find that WRM is predicting, with relish at the thought of monetary gains from no taxation, the demise of the nation state, including goverment services like the welfare state and nhs. Of course, we are just tax slaves and how much better off we will be when we are liberated from taxation and no longer have to pay for the services provided to the less well off in society...except you...yes you who voted brexit...will be one of the less well off rather than a sovereign individual.

Very focused and clear argument

18 March 2003

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A very focused and clear argument for what is happening with the world, based on a historical walk-through from hunter-gatherers to internet times. You cannot fault the analysis, nor the conclusions.
The presentation style is mightily irritating -- several ill-disguised rants on every page along the lines of "we told you so", "when the rest of the world ridiculed us, who were the ones that were right after all...?", "we pointed this out as early as in 1994, but did people listen to us? Oh no.". If you can tolerate the rant and self-righteousness, you have a first-rate book with a frightening view of where we are heading, and no reason not to believe the conclusions.
Highly recommended, mightily irritating.

Excellent insight into a possible future few have considered

18 April 2008

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is an excellent, well-researched book into the subject of the future. It predicts a decline in the power of indebted governments to tax and control our lives, mainly due to globalisation and the internet. They may well be right longer-term, but for now, their shorter-term prediction of governmental attempts to maintain and strengthen their control, swimming against the tide, have proved highly accurate, as has their predictions on the decline of national currencies and the strength of gold and silver as stores of wealth.

My only criticism is that it drags on for too long. What it describes could have been said more clearly and concisely in a book half the size. Well worth the read though, and maybe one to prepare ourselves for in future.

this book is excellent and really changed my view on where we came from and where we're going

12 May 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

the book embodies a brief telling of economic history from an angle rarely considered or discussed and really opened my eyes in that regard.

given it's age, many of its forecasts are now subject to comparison to what has actually happened and given the number of concrete statements made, the authors really stuck their necks out and have been vindicated by history since then. one or two things were wide of the mark, but then a famous computer expert once said the world would only need 5 computers or some similar quote, so even the sharpest eyes can be deceived.

honestly, I would recommend this book to anyone who takes in interest in curernt affairs and the borokerage of power in the real world.

on the downside, the book does contain a couple of discreet plugs for the authors business interests which are now stale and irrelevant, and there are a couple of repetitive passages here and there.

the informational content is largely peerless amongst the morass of anodyne pap available in the genre and is a must read in my view.
