We tend to think of wars in traditional military frameworks. Big guns. Planes. Ships. Etc. This century, however, the definition of war has expanded to include, for example, cyber warfare. I wonder if we are entering an era of Monetary Warfare. If you read Balaji’s book on the Network State, it will start to make sense that the next attack on the traditional nation-state isn’t going to, necessarily, come from another nation-state (I guess I’m talking about the US here), but rather from the “cloud.” Digital-first, well-funded, beyond the reach of traditional financial blockades, the Network State will gradually erode the power of the Nation-State.display=iframe <iframe sandbox="allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=jeremysblog-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B09VPKZR3G&asins=B09VPKZR3G&linkId=27ac8d2420f7ef55ee5f06d4f64f0251&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>
