The End of Power

As power shifts around the world, from presidential palaces to public squares, from formerly mighty corporations to agile startups, and from males to women, it is rotting. Those in power now have fewer options for what they can do with it, and they are more likely to lose it than ever before. Moisés Nam examines the conflict between once-dominant mega players and the emerging micro powers that are challenging them in every sector of human effort in his book The End of Power . Nam explains how the anti-establishment drive of micro powers may overthrow rulers, overturn monopolies, and offer extraordinary new opportunities for some; but it can also lead to chaos and paralysis for others.
