Indeed, information already sloshes heedlessly across national
boundaries—but in the process it destroys jobs and concentrates commerce
into a handful of powerful individuals and cities. In The Weightless World,

devastating sociopolitical consequences. State governments are not equipped to
operate in a world where intangible information and human creativity—not
physical goods—are the commodities of choice. Published by Capstone,
