In "Rules for a Flat World", Hadfield argues that although the world is becoming increasingly connected and faster paced due to leaps in technological innovation, the prevailing legal systems -- established by governments and run almost exclusively by lawyers -- have not kept pace. They are increasingly proving ill suited for and counterproductive to the evolving economic environment. Although coming from a different perspective, Hadfield's encouragement of market-based solutions is highly consonant with those of classical liberals who advocate privatizing all government.
