Private providers increasingly deliver services that political authorities formerly monopolized, inspiring greater competition and efficiency, to the satisfaction of citizens-qua-consumers. These trends suggest that new networks of special jurisdictions will soon surpass nation-states in the same way that networked computers replaced mainframes. In this groundbreaking work, Tom W. Bell describes the quiet revolution transforming governments from the bottom up, inside-out, worldwide, and how it will fulfil its potential to bring more freedom, peace, and prosperity to people everywhere  aUnited statesvGovernmentvJurisdictions  aDemocracyvLaw  aEconomic zoneszUnited states
