Survival Codes : World Law and The Future of Humanity

This powerful, important and inspiring work, written for the general reader, shows how our laws worldwide now are the largest and most comprehensive codes of conduct which we have and are our largest universal philosophy, essential for the future of humanity. Without these codes, without any laws or courts, societies would not survive and the survival of the human species itself would be put into question. But the world is now in crisis. The book is written for non-lawyers in all disciplines, from economists to corporate leaders, politicians to senior journalists and scientists, all over the world, as well as lawyers. It enables the reader for the first time, in one swoop, to understand the fundamentals of all our laws across every country in the world, which fields are working and which are not, and whether our laws can ward off an apocalypse or a catastrophe of our own making. Topics covered include the law relating to constitutions, democracies, rule of law, immigration, taxation, crime, regulation (including data protection, AI and banks), family, sex, inheritance, contracts (including derivatives), torts, litigation, property, markets, money, crypto, corporations, hedge funds, and the bankruptcy of corporations and sovereign states, as well as conflict of laws, public international law (including trade, the high seas, space and war), the history of law, and many other topics.
