El capitalismo de la fragmentación

Nation states add a touch of color to maps, but they are not a true source of power. In this last decade, globalization has fragmented the map into different legal spaces: free ports, tax havens, spatial economic zones. With these new spaces, ultra-capitalists have begun to believe that it is possible to escape the bonds and supervision of democratic government. Fragmentation Capitalism follows the worldwide search of well-known radical libertarians - from Milton Friedman to Peter Thiel - to find the perfect space for capitalism. Historian Quinn Slobodian takes us from 1970s Hong Kong to South Africa in the final days of apartheid, from the neo-Confederate South to the old frontier of the American West, from the medieval city of London to the gold vaults of billionaires. right-wing, and finally to the oceans and war zones of the world, charting a relentless hunt for a new space where market competition is not hindered by democracy. Fragmentation capitalism is a fascinating story of the most recent past and an alarming vision of our near future.
