Wired for Anarchy If Ian Angell is right about the future of the new economy, most of the world is screwed. From his vantage point as professor of information systems at the prestigious London School of Economics ( LSE ), Angell, 53, spins a scenario of the future in which the world's business and technical elite use the Net to live wherever they want and to do whatever they please, without government intrusion. Leveraging their wealth and their much-in-demand professional skills, the chosen few ( who really aren't so few ) can live in countries that will bid to have them as residents -- through offers of tax relief and through promises of noninterference in their affairs.
What will governments get in return? The unprecedented wealth-creating power of this group of charmed individuals, whom Angell calls the "new barbarians." And what will become of the billions of people who are left behind? For some unfortunates, it will be a world of chaos, run by gangs of thugs. Others will live under the "tyranny of democracies" -- societies where people will have votes, but where the majority will be ruled by racial, religious, and ethnic bigots.
