While economists like Kenneth Rogoff analyze the long-term macroeconomic challenges to the dollar's status, our newest publication, The Dollar Fault Line reveals a more immediate and dangerous threat: the system's plumbing is broken. It's not about whether the dollar will be replaced in 30 years; it's about whether the system can survive a 3-day outage next year.

Every time you tap your phone, vote, invest money, or even define success, you're following a protocol—an invisible set of rules and categories that someone else designed. From TCP/IP to GDP, from credit scores to carbon credits, these "reality protocols" shape what's possible, what's valuable, and what's visible. Mapmakers reveals that true power in the 21st century doesn't come from controlling territory or resources—it comes from controlling the maps everyone else has to navigate by.

Mapmakers arrives at a critical moment as societies grapple with AI governance, digital currencies, climate accounting, and platform power. Rather than offering purely theoretical analysis, Luberisse provides practical tools including the "Protocol Spotter's Guide"—a six-question framework readers can apply to any system they encounter.

This isn't just another tech critique or policy manual. It's a field guide for navigating and reshaping the hidden architecture of modern life. Mapmakers shows that what we experience as 'natural' market forces or algorithmic decisions are actually design choices that can be contested and reformed.

The work draws on diverse examples—from hospital triage protocols to cryptocurrency consensus mechanisms, from colonial census categories to contemporary content moderation—demonstrating how the same patterns of control repeat across domains.

Mapmakers: The Secret Architecture of Money, Power, and Reality is a revolutionary analysis that exposes the hidden rules governing modern society. The book introduces "Reality Protocol Theory," a powerful new framework for understanding how technical standards, algorithms, and bureaucratic categories shape human possibility.
From the algorithms that determine what appears in social media feeds to the categories that decide who qualifies for loans, Luberisse reveals how "protocol entrepreneurs"—including product managers, standards bodies, and rating agencies—exercise unprecedented power by defining the maps others must navigate.

Key Revelations Include:

How "Metric Capture" Distorts Organizations: Why hospitals optimize for wait times instead of care, and schools teach to tests rather than learning
The Thin vs. Thick Protocol Dilemma: Why some rules should be minimal (enabling innovation) while others require prescription (ensuring safety)
Digital Platforms as Lawmakers: How tech companies create de facto legal systems through interface design and ranking algorithms
The Invisibility Trap: Why successful protocols disappear into "common sense," making their biases harder to challenge.

Metric capture' - when the score becomes the game - destroys more value than bad strategy ever could. Hospital wait times look perfect while care degrades. Schools hit targets while learning evaporates.

There's a way out: Reality Protocol Theory shows how to measure what matters without destroying what you're measuring.
New book 'Mapmakers' provides the framework your next quarterly planning needs.

The Dollar Fault Line is an engineering analysis of the global economy's structural fragility. It argues that the physical and financial plumbing of the dollar system has created a single point of failure. It's a book about how the system works and how it can mechanically break.

The global economy is dangerously dollar-dependent due to its centralized clearing infrastructure, creating a single point of failure vulnerable to sudden, catastrophic shocks.

The book focuses on the "plumbing"—the mechanics of Fedwire, CHIPS, FX swaps, and correspondent banking that form the "Manhattan Bottleneck." It emphasizes how non-market events—like a cyber-attack on clearing systems, a regional power outage, or a U.S. debt-ceiling standoff—can trigger an immediate global liquidity crisis.

The Dollar Fault Line is available everywhere books are sold.

War is no longer fought on conventional battlefields alone. The rise of asymmetric warfare has redefined the nature of conflict, where superior military power can be neutralized through unconventional strategies, decentralized tactics, and psychological operations. Asymmetric Warfare: Strategies and Tactics for the Modern Combatant is the definitive guide to understanding, adapting to, and countering the dynamics of irregular warfare in the 21st century.

This book provides a rigorous analysis of the evolving nature of warfare, examining the strategies employed by insurgents, militias, paramilitary forces, and non-state actors who operate beyond traditional military conventions. Drawing from historical case studies, contemporary conflicts, and cutting-edge military theory, it explores how technologically weaker forces exploit vulnerabilities in powerful adversaries through guerrilla warfare, psychological manipulation, cyber warfare, and urban insurgency.

Inside, readers will gain insight into:

The strategic logic of asymmetric warfare and how weaker actors impose disproportionate costs on conventional forces.

Tactical frameworks for urban guerrilla combat, including ambush tactics, sniper operations, and counterinsurgency countermeasures.

The integration of cyber warfare, artificial intelligence, and drone technology in modern irregular conflicts.

The role of proxy warfare, intelligence operations, and perception management in shaping asymmetric battles.

The future of networked insurgencies, decentralized warfare, and non-state military capabilities in an era of technological democratization.

The concept of blowback—the unintended negative consequences of covert operations or interventions—has been a recurring theme in U.S. foreign policy. The Taliban’s resurgence in Afghanistan is a prime example. The U.S. initially supported the mujahideen to counter the Soviets, but once the immediate threat was gone, the power vacuum left behind allowed the Taliban to seize control. Decades later, after a costly and protracted conflict, the Taliban’s return to power following the U.S. withdrawal in 2021 showcased the enduring impact of those early decisions.

In Iraq, the U.S.-led invasion and the dismantling of Saddam Hussein’s regime created a chaotic environment ripe for insurgent groups. The disbandment of the Iraqi army and the marginalization of Sunni communities fueled resentment and provided fertile ground for the rise of ISIS. What began as a mission to eliminate a dictator ended with a far more virulent and globalized extremist threat.

Syria mirrors these patterns. The power vacuums created by the degradation of Assad’s authority and the fragmentation of the opposition have allowed extremist groups like HTS to establish control over regions like Idlib. Even if these groups are temporarily seen as a counterbalance to Assad or ISIS, their governance is unlikely to produce long-term stability. Instead, they perpetuate cycles of conflict, repression, and radicalization.

All of these scenarios reflect the same themes that resonate throughout Weapons of Misfortune where the author underscores the dangers of interventions that prioritize immediate victories over sustainable solutions, the folly of empowering proxy forces who later become adversaries, and the moral ambiguity of choosing between shades of extremism.

If you're interested in understanding how U.S. actions have reshaped the modern world and what can be learned from the past, Weapons of Misfortune is a must-read. Available now in paperback, hardcover, and digital formats.

In the aftermath of more than seven decades of U.S. interventions in the Middle East, the region remains a complex web of proxy wars, fragile alliances, and entrenched conflicts. From the covert operations that toppled Iran’s Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, to the ill-fated invasion of Iraq in 2003, ....
