A book that I've recommended to you before is Niven and Pournelle's 'Oath of Fealty'. It has some interesting insights about corporations as feudal organizations (it's overly romantic about the parallel, but that doesn't lessen the impact). There are several follow-on thoughts that I am sure will occur to you regarding the ultimate decline of feudal societies, but I'll leave you to figure those out yourself. ;-) |
