One of the more fascination features about the markets today is that one it is stipulated from a weird but also de novo concept of man. I borrow this a lot from Francis Fukuyama's book 'The End of History and the Last Man.'

Basically after the decline of the Soviet Union there has been unleashed and perhaps plummeted unpropel forces that has eroded a lot, included the forms and structures of state institutions, the intensity and probability of wars and above all culture and how that will affect the world we live in today. It is important to note that with each declining of each structure or form out there there still exist perhaps some underlying values that has to be understood as always being pre existent. What I mean by that even if there are declining states that would not rule out the need for governments but the conceptual aspect of government of course would have to take into consideration of ongoing factors. A good way of looking at this in its advance form is the rapid and steady decline of the post-industrial age. That was an age in which industrialism and the remains of the industrial revolution era and New Deal system have come to declining a halt. It was precipetated by the the advancement of the information age but the also the outsourcing of large industries to other countries. Yet one would ask what would make such an era declined was that the ongoing information age and the outsourcing itself though would be thought as two different things were actually not. In fact with the rise and increase for the needs of more computers and the sudden growth of the internet, outsourcing itself has taken on strange shapes and forms. That wouldn't mean that it ceased but its politics has grown just darker. With computers I must add is the ever increasing need for faster and quicker processor thus the need for better microchips and components. That would explain why every 18 months that computers that are constantly being put out on the market are twice as fast the the previous one. Thus the need for giant processing company to build vast plants in the middle of some desert requiring the process of sand as its basic computer for the silicon chip. Yet sooner or later along with other ongoing factors something must breakthrough. So exactly what are these other factors and what is the next breakthrough.

Just like there are really ongoing factors that are quickly shaping the underlying value of the market institution it may as well be argued that the market institutions is serving as an ongoing factor for other things. Namely the basic decline of the Soviet Union has produced what I would like to call a warped historical preconception. What I mean by this is that what must be taken into consideration that any project that has survived as an empire and idealogical force has for the better or worse has left its stamp on history and trying to unravel things is indeed an unwanting failure. Thus the decline of the Soviet Union as mistakenly believed as emulating the triumph of democracy and free markets over communism and centralized society is no more than just a collapse of an empire that cannot go any longer believing like it did. It can be further argued a collapse of an historical ideal that like many other historical ideals would likely to fall.

Thus we are often believe it or not dealing with a post-Soviet individual. This is an individual who is hungry for re asserting his or her identity through products that are no longer sustainable by any maket or market framework or simply put there is no market framework for such thing as the world of spices, textiles and exotic things would like to continue to grow and thrive which is not surprising that such things as slavery is becoming more popular and its opposition to it taken more for granted. One could also argue that rise of industrial sweat shop to levels we see today is itself over the past ten years a recent reaction to the type of economic world we live

Now with this we have so much pressures on states and political system about us. As we see with the increased demand due to a post-post industrial age and the ever unquenchable post-Soviet individual arises that are building are in themselves creating new scenarios and shaping political events.

There in fact cannot be a better way to look at what the internet is or what it is finally becoming. The better definition of how to describe the internet is basically a phenomena that occur during the days of the Cold War. It was meant as far as I understand it as a means of sharing information among intelligence and military agency, universities and heavy corporations. Yet such information also relied on a factor known as peer sharing whereas no one party who is partaking in sharing such information is left out and in event of a cataclysmic event such as a nuclear war such forms of communications would still be able to withstand that type of scrutiny and continued. Now the information is fast becoming part of the so called but no longer existed post industrial economy or what is often classified as the information age, in which case that there is no clear definition of what constitutes the typical or standard definition of an information age. An information age can be understood as the economic reliance of livelihoods, and so on on the accumulation and technologies of such institutions relying more on the use of diespensing and accumulatin mass information. The Post World War II scenario followed by the Baby Boom era and the civil rights era can on the positive side be a case in point of a society that has to deal with the realities and consequences of an increasingly based information era. However there is another definition of an information age that I would like to call that 1)give reason to believe that we are no longer living in a post-industrial age and 2) that we are living in a post-institutional and supertechnological society. The information age as I will define it as a ongoing build up of energy that historically and futuristically that cannont give any credence or realization of what forms and roles government and social institutions must take place. The internet itself embodies such built up during and after the Cold War only to take a formation into something else. Along with it will be so called structural changes as we see what we call a post institutional effect as states starts to decline and massive war ensues. In the global economy today as we see was the proliferation over the last decade alone or so of sweat shops in textiles and agricultural products only reflect the deep and scathing reality that there isn't much left of a market institution for them. The only forms of market institutions that are left and left at such a relatively dismal state are electronic and online institutions.

I was watching the SuperBowl parade as the floats with all the football players and their family waiting to come down the streets around the Boston Common and saw this weird commercial--casketroyale

That is not definetely not an easy question to answer. For over the past year I have written some articles on the state of the ever changing world from the perspective of global economy and perhaps a pursuant war. One of the things that I think that drives history is the mobility of goods and labor. This is not far when such mobility is marked from a historic or more precisely from a prehistoric point of view of nomadic tribes and the rise of early civilization. There is not one set theme or thesis as to why nomadic cultures begin to settle down and developed cities and often times revert to a form of nomadism and vice versa. Along came in history the growth of warring cultures and empire. As we have empires there have came about the varying concept of law and justice. Is the applicatiion of the demand for justice is univeral? Is that concept universal a flawed way of thinking? No one for the most part would ever agree or believe that it can happened that way. There are many types of justice as they impart upon ourselves the level of civilization and the way that mankind behave.

Often stated is a certain flow of energy in which all societies must stand by. In fact it is this built up energy that determines societal fate and once unleashed shapes history upon a new course. It could be often argue that the First and Second World War represents this built of energy from the 'enlightenment' and over 'rationalistic' thinkers of most of the 19th Century. It could also be stated and asserted the Cold War was just a slow down of an already melt down and decrepit world that we live in. It wasn't until the birth of the decline of the Soviet Union that despite what others would think meltdown the illusions some would have about the cold war but also history itself.

As the Cold War and the Soviet Union ended, certian historical phenomenas have taken place. We for starters cannot be sure about what they were or certain what shape or form they can be taken place. All we know for starters, the idea that there will ever be a nation state model or system that can keep the world at peace is fast becoming extremely something that can be found only in the past and not much anything of a reality.
