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,
Diane Coyle argues that technological progress has complex and potentially
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,
