My Review of 'The Sovereign Individual'
Few are the books that open your mind so that they make you think from the basic things. They make you see that, what seems so complex and so complicated in an accelerated world of information is as simple as how predictable human behavior can be driven by the basic needs we have. The fact of predicting so many technological advances that are now a reality makes the book very credible. With the criteria and foundations described, it makes you think that they are right in almost everything they say. Not only that, but also the facts of the reality that surrounds us.
The contextualization of societies and their morals as an essential part of the success or failure of a nation is evident in the world we live in today, the one that our ancestors have lived, and the one that our successors will live. Under this indicator, the mini-sovereigns argument welcomes much more viability in a financial ecosystem where those who have the most can do what they want.
The perspective that the jobs of the future are not something that one has but tasks that are done, largely validate most of the arguments because work is one of the daily activities of the human being. The fact that the way to reward what is done through history since pre and post-indutrialization has evolved is an accurate look at the new forms of work and how the digital revolution makes manual work fade away. The relative greater access to production tools so that individuals can have greater independence means that individual sovereignty is facilitated and that there is a pursue of transparency regarding the distribution of goods and resources.
Also important to mention that the authors reveal insights of the stereotypes and stigmas that they have according to their social class and as how they see countries that do not have minimum living conditions. This does not make the book less objective but brings up a certain sense of superiority from them.
As humanity's timeline advances, it becomes more difficult for new beings to understand all the information gathered throughout history. Reading and writing are essential skills to keep up to date, as well as the search for information that helps the best understanding of the environment to have a clear vision of what you want and where you are going. This book is one of those that provides a general idea to understand what can be expected (and seen) in the dynamics between individuals and nation-state countries in the transition to digitization, based on analogies of human history from when humankind went through similar moments of detachment from a larger entity in search of collective sovereignty.
