Overview
What do we mean when we talk about "the State"? Multiple polls show a growing disillusionment with the State and representative government as vehicles for progressive change, and particularly as means to tame capitalism, let alone as a basis for seeing beyond it. In a quick and readable format, Eric Laursen proposes thinking about the State in an entirely new way--not simply as government or legal institutions, but as humanity's analog to a computer operating system--opening up a new interpretation of the system of governance that emerged in Europe five-hundred years ago and now drives almost every aspect of human society. He also demonstrates powerfully why humanity's life-and-death challenges--including racism, climate change, and rising economic exploitation--cannot be addressed as long as the State continues to exercise dominion.
