Trade Order, the Hyperempire, and the Future of Humanity

This text provides a profound analysis of Jacques Attali's historiosophical vision, focusing on the transformation of power structures and the legitimization of scarce goods. The author moves from the Ritual and Imperial Order to the contemporary Commercial Order, pointing to its inevitable evolution toward a Hyperempire—a global market devoid of state control. The article provides a detailed discussion of the social polarization between elite hypernomads and excluded infranomads, as well as the threats posed by the coming Hyperconflict. A key element is the presentation of a positive alternative in the form of Hyperdemocracy, based on the protection of the commons and Universal Intelligence. This compendium of knowledge about the future of civilization, transhumanism, and a new ethical paradigm that has the potential to shape the coming centuries in the face of the collapse of traditional state institutions.
