But this is not where power actually resides.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the 1990s onwards, globalization has shattered the map, leading to an explosion of new legal entities: tax havens, free ports, city-states, gated enclaves and special economic zones. These new spaces are freed from ordinary forms of regulation, taxation and mutual obligation - and with them, ultracapitalists believe that it is possible to escape the bonds of democratic government and oversight altogether. Historian Quinn Slobodian follows the most notorious radical libertarians - from Milton Friedman to Peter Thiel - around the globe as they search for the perfect home for their free market fantasy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hunt leads from Hong Kong in the 1970s to South Africa in the late days of apartheid, from the neo-Confederate South to the medieval City of London, and finally into the world's oceans and war zones, charting the relentless quest for a blank slate where capitalism and democracy can be finally uncoupled. Crack-Up Capitalism is a propulsive history of the recent past, and an alarming view of our near future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eFormat: P\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublis\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003ehed: 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublish\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eer: Penguin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePages: 352\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780141993768\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quinn Slobodian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778191077707,"sku":null,"price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8755\/1819\/files\/9780141993768.jpg?v=1773317338","url":"https:\/\/desirelinesbookstore.com\/products\/crack-up-capitalism-market-radicals-and-the-dream-of-a-world-without-democracy","provider":"desirelines books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
