This powerful, significant, and inspiring work, written for the general reading public, shows how our laws worldwide are the greatest and most comprehensive codes of conduct we have and represent the world's most extensive philosophy, essential for humanity's future. Without these codes, without laws or courts, societies would not survive, and the survival of the human race would be challenged. But the world is now facing a crisis. The book is written for non-lawyers across all fields, from economists to corporate leaders, politicians to senior journalists and scientists worldwide, as well as for lawyers. It enables the reader, for the first time, to understand the foundations of all our laws in every country, which areas function and which do not, and whether our laws can prevent a revelation or disaster that we ourselves have caused. The topics covered include law related to constitutions, democracies, the rule of law, immigration, taxation, crime, regulation (including data protection, artificial intelligence, and banking), family, sex, inheritance, contracts (including derivatives), offenses, trials, property, markets, money, cryptocurrency, companies, hedge funds, and the insolvency of corporations and sovereign states, as well as conflict of laws, public international law (including trade, open seas, space, and war), the history of law, and many other subjects.
