You Say You Want a Devolution? by Robert Gore | STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC

Excellent commentary on the factors that have dominated US foreign expansion since WWII, and before that domestic expansion capped off by the US Civil War.



Decentralization, is the key, of course. When the Berlin wall came down in 1989, it left capitalism, or at least a form of it with little competition except police states. Communist governments are the worst centralized states, which is their weakness, and corruption is a characteristic result. This doesn't mean socialist capitalism is a viable system, privatizing profits and socializing losses. It has the same weakness. Free markets are decentralized, which lower taxes and less government spending provides. Try telling that to a social capitalist.



The internet of things has the potential to transform life on this earth, let's hope it's a peer to peer system, and not one controlled by the NSA. They're already one step ahead.



Thanks for a thought provoking article.
