Ep. 91: Building cities on the high seas. | Patri Friedman

From monarchy to laissez-faire capitalism, from communism to anarchism, much has been written advocating for different political philosophies.

He founded The Seasteading Institute, a non-profit that explores the creation of sovereign ocean colonies.
