The authors state it brilliantly:Thomas Fletcher Rees-Mogg (born 1966), who married Modwenna Northcote in 1996. The couple have four children: former president of the Oxford University Conservative Association William, [34] Beatrice, David and Constance [32] I was still working out whether to switch into the polite-fob-off mode that anyone with a public profile has to deploy from time to time.

It is dangerous to downplay the role that people’s intentions play in all this, on both sides of the table, so to speak. To make out that William Rees-Mogg was not, to any degree, engaging in an act of willing something, some reality, into being. That he was just predicting the natural, inevitable, only possible course of events, in a purely disinterested — or even, scientific — manner. And then, based on that wrong assumption, to make out that those who hold opposing views ought not to try to will something into being either — because that would just be futilely resisting the only possible course of events that had been established by this great, disinterested prophet/sage, Mystic Mogg. He was educated at Clifton College Preparatory School in Bristol and Charterhouse in Godalming, where he was Head of School. [4] [5]

Rees-Mogg and his wife Gillian Shakespeare Morris (b.1939) married in 1962. She is the daughter of Thomas Richard Morris who was a lorry driver and later a car salesman. [31] He became a Conservative councillor and Mayor in the Borough of St Pancras, and later councillor for the Kings Cross ward of the London Borough of Camden. He was also a JP. The book is written somewhat in the manner of a memo to investors. ‘A series of transition crises lies ahead … We expect it to be a time of great danger and great reward … Increasingly autonomous individuals and bankrupt, desperate governments will confront one another across a new divide. We expect to see a radical restructuring of the nature of sovereignty and the virtual death of politics before the transition is over. Instead of state domination and control of resources, you are destined to see the privatisation of almost all services governments now provide.’ Rees-Mogg began his career in journalism in London at the Financial Times in 1952 becoming chief leader writer in 1955 and, in addition, assistant editor in 1957. [9] [10] During this period, he was Conservative candidate for the safe Labour seat of Chester-le-Street in a by-election on 27 September 1956, losing to the Labour candidate Norman Pentland by 21,287 votes, [11] as he did in the subsequent general election by a similar margin. As for cryptocurrency style living, I’m not so sure. When a state feels sufficiently intimidated, they will surely opt for Great Wall of China style firewalls. But only large cooperating blocs (China, North America, the EU) can survive the effect and bend the banking system to their will – which is another reason why BRexit is such a stupid idea. And if Bermuda or the Bahamas were to become a competing financial power, I’m certain some physical force from the US might change matters. They just completely ignore talking about “the goal”. i.e. If you’re writing a book about the upcoming intense transition for humanity, shouldn’t you also be thinking about how to make that transition good for humanity? They don’t think about the macro goal at all, or how one would go about achieving it. Instead, they just take a hyper self-focused view (likely in line with their libertarian bent) and think about individuals can exploit this opportunity.

She was elected as a Member of the European Parliament for the Brexit Party in 2019. In their view, government is but a drag on ambition and success; welfare something that the rich are forced to fund for the less bright, successful and ambitious. Real success, they argue, will be measured not just by how many zeroes you can add to your net worth, but whether you can structure your affairs in a way that enables you to realise your full autonomy and independence – autonomous of government, independent of communal responsibility.

The goal of this article is to review/summarize The Sovereign Individual, a book written in 1996 by James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg. At a high level, The Sovereign Individual (SI) tries to predict the effects of the Information Revolution. The authors explore this by using a “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes” approach. i.e. They analyze the Industrial Revolution and then try to map that onto the Information Revolution.
