This book is an initiative of Aleks Svetski and Mark Moss and as they state "is an answer, or perhaps antidote to the nihilism, despair, and chaos individuals are facing in the modern world."
As you might imagine, this work is counter-inspired by the worldwide famous "Communist Manifesto" by Marx & Engels.
Aleks and Mark conceive humans as individuals and as such should be treated and comprehended.

Social classes have been conceived as static and settled up by decree, which causes confrontation and systemic inequality. Examples of this are Feudal Hierarchy, Modern Cronyism and Communism.
What they propose is a transformation and reorganization of society, not by decree, but by the natural, emergent force of competence and liberty.
One of dynamic inequality, where classes continue to exist, but are permeable. Where the opportunity to rise up is available to all, and so too is everyone subject to the risk of failure and falling down the hierarchy.

"In an organic, capitalist society where the political-ruling class is unable to arbitrarily conjure money out of thin air for themselves, if you add more value, do more work, provide a better service, build a better product or make better choices in life, you will climb. If you consume more than you produce, if you are wasteful, if you make bad investment decisions, if you blow all your money on parties and alcohol, then guess what, you can't print anymore or tax others to pay for your losses.

Capitalism is neither right nor left. It has nothing to do with politics.
It is inherent in the evolutionary flow of any living species, which through the use of resources, time and energy, transform these into a good of higher order and value.
Capitalism is decentralized and occurs based on the voluntary participation by the individual in a free market.
Control is distributed, dominance revolves and quality spirals upward by virtue of competition.
On the other hand, political hierarchy and authority are merely a function of decree, and therefore they always decay.

Bitcoin is the most powerful, organic incarnation of capitalism that has emerged in the modern world. It is an apolitical money whose rules are equally applied to everyone.
For the first time in human history, we have perfect, fixed, immutable money that bridges the gap between the physical and digital, tying bits to atoms and giving us the best of both worlds.
