How power arises, concentrates and becomes legitimate.
Choose Swedish 3.63 or English 3.64-EN. Both PDF prereleases come with a personal reading licence and one protected download after payment verification.
The English counterpart to the Swedish main work, prepared as a limited digital prerelease. It explores power, rights, democratic accountability and the role of AI in a society able to examine and correct its decisions.
Choose the language of the book independently of the language of this website. The order records your chosen edition, and your private download delivers that edition.
The corrected English PDF prerelease, version 3.64-EN, can now be ordered below. This is the first English edition, not a translation of the later Swedish second edition.
Each edition costs 189 SEK including VAT. Bankgiro orders currently require a Swedish billing address. These are limited prereleases, with editorial review continuing.

Version 3.63 · Edition 1 — editorially sales-reviewed manuscript
The main work traces the development of power from historical institutions to the digital state and presents ETHICA as an open, reviewable democratic system specification.
Swedish invoice example at 6% book VAT: 178.30 SEK excluding VAT + 10.70 SEK VAT = 189.00 SEK total. Checkout and the invoice always calculate the VAT that actually applies to the customer.
The first Bankgiro stage is limited to Swedish billing addresses. Card, Klarna and Swish data will be handled by Kustom/WooCommerce after merchant activation and will never be stored by the portal.
How power arises, concentrates and becomes legitimate.
Rights, mandates and limits to majority power.
Incentives, resources and institutional capacity.
Technology as support — never as sovereign.
Traceability from assumption to verified outcome.
Participation, citizen councils and delivery.
Open questions and possible paths forward.
Bankgiro orders are reconciled by the owner. Faster payment methods require confirmation from the external regulated provider.
A unique, auditable entitlement with one download and an administrative remedy for technical failure.
The delivered filename includes the personal licence ID. This provides proportionate traceability without pretending that a downloaded file can be made impossible to copy.
The email address is also the username. A separate username is unnecessary, and no national identity number or political information should be collected.
These fields appear only when a business purchase is selected.
An unticked checkbox at checkout lets the customer subscribe voluntarily. Purchase and transactional email work regardless.
The customer purchases a personal reading licence. Unauthorised publication, resale and removal of identifying rights information are not permitted.
Swedish checkout uses separate active confirmations for immediate digital delivery and the resulting end of the withdrawal right once access is provided. Statutory remedies for defects remain.
