Anarchy, Inc.: Profiting in a Decentralized World with Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain by Patrick Schwerdtfeger

Anarchy is coming. Decentralization is accelerating, and technology is facilitating the trend. Nobody trusts traditional institutions or authority figures anymore. Bitcoin, open source, Uber, social media and the Arab Spring are all examples of anarchy in action. Tomorrow's leaders need to understand these trends if they wish to thrive in a decentralized economy.

Washington University estimates that 40% of Fortune 500 companies will no longer exist in 10 years. That represents an enormous threat to existing corporations, but it's an even bigger opportunity to those companies who are poised to take their place. When faced with disruptive innovation, most companies and their executives default to a defensive posture. That's the wrong approach. Stay on offense and learn to thrive amidst anarchy!
