The construction of a global world is a destiny we cannot escape, and in economics it is already a fact, despite wars and divisions of all kinds. There are many ways to complete unification: combining law and democracy with technology and capital is the most difficult, but also the only one that offers hope. The challenge is to make the rules of a post-imperial government of the planet workable, removing it from the control of an opaque techno-financial oligarchy that is already gaining the upper hand in many fields.
The book focuses in particular on the feasibility of a global legal order: a shared network of rules centred on the recognition of humans – of the entire species – as subjects of both constitutional and private rights; on a new international order; and on overcoming the differences between civil law and common law traditions: an indispensable step if we are to envisage a future of emancipation and freedom.
