Just finished a wonderful(ly long) biography on Julius Caesar (Caesar: Politician and Statesman). Caesar was innovative in thinking of Rome as not just a city state but the beginnings of what would become an empire. Not an inherently new phenomena but one that has lasting influence to this day. In the same way our world is now flat. While there is much we do not understand we do know this: business (Due to the proliferation of the internet) knows no borders. And the goal of modern businesses that rely on scale is to do just that. So, look for businesses to become much more powerful than countries and to one day become greater than even the greatest of nations.
