Description
These are the new technologies of freedom. These tools present a historical unprecedented opportunity to recapture individual freedoms in the digital age – to expand individual rights, to protect property, to defend our privacy and personal data, to exercise our freedom of speech, and to develop new voluntary communities.
This book presents a call to arms. The liberty movement has spent too much time begging the state for its liberties back. We can now use new technologies to build the free institutions that are needed for human flourishing without state permission.
The New Technologies of Freedom is part of a joint project between the RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub, an academic research centre based at RMIT University in Melbourne Australia, and the Mannkal Economic Education Foundation.
“This is a book that says that while legislative change matters, liberty is something we can build … We’re asking the liberty movement to direct at least some of its attention towards building new technologies, new products, new services … Because the point is not just to protect ourselves – it’s to create a more free world.” Chris Berg, September 17, 2020.
