Commentary/review

A medium-size presentation of core issues related to current (2024) developments in blockchain technology, predominantly from the perspective of self-governance vs. state regulation. To what extent blockchain organizations are left to govern themselves through code or consensus, how does the blockchain technology limit or expand governance measures, is the Pure Theory of Law a useful paradigm when assessing the mechanism of smart contracts. The book discusses several key ideas, including A-legality (H. Lindahl) and the Rule of Code.
