Description
The Desktop Regulatory State: A New Era of Self-Regulation and Humanism. Defenders of the modern state often claim it's needed to protect us from threats, but what if those institutions - corporations, government agencies, and labor unions - collude more than they counterbalance each other? Kevin Carson argues that technology has empowered individuals to take on these hierarchies as equals, and that self-regulation can be a powerful force for good. Carson explores how changes in consciousness and information technology have amplified the power of people to care for themselves without relying on the state. He paints an optimistic picture of a future without the state, and outlines the steps we need to take to achieve it.
