| Abstract
|
:
|
Regards information technology as a seed for a new society in which the winners in the knowledge economy will construct their own 'smart regions' founded on libertarian principles and enlightened self-interest. The losers, however, face a bleak future. The three evils of religion, ethnicity and socialism will prey on the economic insecurity of the masses, as transnational businesses roam the globe in search of ever cheaper labor. [back cover].
