Sal and Mark - EP17

from Free Talk Live · host Free Talk Live

Patri Friedman joins Sal and Mark this week for a wide ranging conversation about the Free Cities movement, charter cities, and why special autonomous zones may be the most practical path to freedom in the modern world. Patri shares why he moved on from seasteading, what is happening with zones like Prospera around the world, and why Africa is emerging as the most exciting frontier for this kind of legal innovation. The guys also cover the forty trillion dollar US debt, the futility of voting versus the power of counter economics, the failures of the healthcare system and market based alternatives, and why agorism may be the most American approach to freedom. Note that David Friedman was originally scheduled but due to a scheduling mix up only Patri joined this episode.
