Summary
Two renowned investment advisors and authors of the best seller The Great Reckoning bring to light both currents of disaster and the potential for prosperity and renewal in the face of radical changes in human history as we move into the next century. The Sovereign Individual details strategies necessary for adapting financially to the next phase of Western civilization.
Few observers of the late-20th century have their fingers so presciently on the pulse of the global political and economic realignment ushering in the new millennium as do James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg. Their bold prediction of disaster on Wall Street in Blood in the Streets was borne out by Black Tuesday. In their ensuing best sellar, The Great Reckoning, published just weeks before the coup attempt against Gorbachev, they analyzed the pending collapse of the Soviet Union and foretold the civil war in Yugoslavia and other events that have proved to be among the most searing developments of the past few years.
In The Sovereign Individual, Davidson and Rees-Mogg explore the greatest economic and political transition in centuries - the shift from an industrial to an information-based society. This transition, which they have termed "the fourth stage of human society", will liberate individuals as never before, irrevocably altering the power of government. This outstanding book will replace false hopes and fictions with new understanding and clarified values.

Want to know about the future this book not only spells it out but backs it up with historic arguments as well as analysis of how previous civilisations have fallen I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the future of the information age.
The book also sits alongside The Bitcoin Standard also as a great read.

mispronunciations, but otherwise v good!
Anyone coming to this book will be doing so for specific reasons and curiosity, so it’s not fruitful to comment on the specifics of its content.
As far as listening to it goes, it’s generally well narrated. The content is dry, but the narrator keeps the energy & interest high throughout, with a good understanding of what’s being said. There are a number of niggling mispronunciations throughout though, that can grate on the ear. Most frequently, the word violence - read as ‘vylance’ - comes up a lot.

A book with incredible foresight
This book has incredible foresight; worldwide pandemics, the rise of a Crypto currency (6 years before it happened), the rise of Victimhood, the demand of payouts and blame of White Men from history. It's all going to a well rehearsed plan. Astonishing. Nostradamus believers will drop their jaws at the accuracy of this book. Written 11 years ago, it's anticipation of what is happening now is breathtaking.
It's also very strange that hardback books are not on sale anymore. Is someone trying to blind the nation.
An Audible must.

Insightful Prescience
No one can predict the future for certain. But this book has proved prophetic in outlining the procession of society and the advent and emergence of what the writers have termed the Sovereign Individual. Of particular interest to the reader is the logic, contributory factors and influences that lead to the predicament that makes emergence of the sovereign individual inevitable. An enjoyable and edifying read. It’s a thoroughly researched, detailed and well thought out study that postulates arguments that hold up over time.
