Enemy of All Mankind by Steven Johnson

Enemy of All Mankind by Steven Johnson

Henry Avery was the seventeenth century's most notorious pirate. The press published wildly popular - and wildly inaccurate - reports of his nefarious adventures. The British government offered enormous bounties for his capture, alive or (preferably) dead. But Steven Johnson argues that Avery's most lasting legacy was his inadvertent triggering of a new model for the global economy. Johnson uses the extraordinary story of Henry Avery and his crimes to explore the emergence of the modern global marketplace: a densely interconnected planet ruled by nations and corporations.

Steven Johnson is the editor of The Innovator's Cookbook and the bestselling author of Future Perfect, Where Good Ideas Come From, The Invention of Air, The Ghost Map, and Everything Bad is Good for You. He is the creator of a number of well-known websites and contributes to publications such as Time, Wired, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. With his wife and three sons, he resides in Marin County, California.
