"Farewell to Westphalia" discusses blockchain as a post-nation-state governance model

Logos Press Engine released "Farewell to Westphalia: Crypto Sovereignty and Post-National State Governance" by Jarrad Hope and Peter Ludlow on September 18. The book believes that the nation-state model of 1648 has become obsolete and proposes blockchain-based “network states” as voluntary digital communities to achieve transparent governance. The book suggests that these entities can handle matters such as security, health care and trade through immutable ledgers, transcending geographical boundaries and addressing challenges in the global digital age.
