Book preview

The namesake of this book comes from the 1980 Comedy film The Gods Must Be Crazy, in which an empty Coca-Cola bottle is dropped from a plane onto a community of African bushmen. The bottle is a gift from the gods, but after it leads to in-fighting among the villagers, the tribal leaders decide to return it to the gods by having one of the village elder journeys to the end of the world to drop the bottle over the edge. Through my own metaphorical coke bottle, I can see the dawn of a new empire. This book serves as a testament to my views on restoring the current empire (capitalism and enterprises) before it is too late.

Prayer to Bring Back the House of Roosevelts

And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. And he was teaching them and saying to them, Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers. And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. (Mark 11:15-18, ESV)

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

As I write this, there is anarchy breaking out; a civil war is going on right in front of my home in the heart of Chicago. Quoting a recorded call from the Chicago City Council, it is ‘a virtual war zone’ where ‘gang members armed with AK-47s were threatening to shoot black people.’ They are shooting at the police.

Meanwhile, in the mayor’s office, the City Council’s recorded strategy discussion that was intended to resolve the problem, devolved into a profanity-laden shouting match reminiscent of the Chiraq¹ banana republic². I wonder what the future has in store for us if this boarding-up³ can happen to my centennial home? Even one of the most exquisite and iconic ivory towers in the world (Britannica’s last headquarters), protected by a private militia, seems to be unsafe.

I took the One Shared World pledge to be an advocate and safeguard, not only of my beloved United States but humanity at large. I believe it is my moral responsibility to educate others about a predictive, preventative, and responsive infrastructure that might protect us from shared existential threats.

Anatomy of the Book

The Imminent Rise of the Middle Kingdom

The Dawn of the Middle Kingdom

Our empire is endangered, and the existence of its enterprise subjects is threatened along with it. If we do not play our cards right, the next voracious empire (The Middle Kingdom⁴) will soon send its errand boys to collect bills from the US and over a hundred other countries that it has financially colonized since the economic tsunami of 2008.

The Gods Must Be Crazy

In the book’s initial section, I tell of my tiger-ride through the distorted fields of reality; from the cradle of communism in the East to the catacombs of capitalism in the West. This is portrayed against the backdrop of Hernando de Soto’s book, The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else.

A Proposal to bring back the House of Roosevelts

In the second section of the book, I adapt The New Normal from Empire to Enterprise’s perspective to explain how to save us from the impending Fourth Reich⁵. The survival of an enterprise is intertwined with the rise and fall of its sponsoring godfathers, the world’s empires - as we have witnessed in the past five centuries, with the most prominent enterprises such as the Dutch⁶ and British⁷ East India companies.

I dig the grave of the foundation of capitalism and propose my prescription to bring back the good old Roosevelt’s New Deal⁸ to spare us from the Fourth Reich. I defend my hypothesis that many enterprises are a gaggle of financial-engineering frogs, addicted to debt, swimming in tepid snake oil⁹.

When the tide goes out, many of these enterprises will meet their sordid destiny at the hands of IP (Intellectual Property) vultures such as China, as shown in the chart below:

China, the Middle Kingdom, waits eagerly for us to misplay our worn-out trump cards so
