The reading list I made for
@thousandnations is a good start: https://athousandnations.com/recommended/ The recent book Radical Markets is an example of some small but important mechanism alternatives. For a much more radical option, read about futarchy or anarcho-capitalism.2 replies 2 retweets 7 likes -

The phrase "Being free" represents a profound misunderstanding of my philosophy. I am a dissatisfied consumer of govt services. I wish there to be more providers to choose from. The ocean and charter cities are two promising options for startup govts.
