Why Greenland? Liberland, Prospera, Seasteading, Praxis and the Dream of a Libertarian Utopia - Part 2
What the hell is up with the Trump Adminstration and their push to acquire Greenland? Rich and Adam dig deep and find that this is just the latest of a decades long effort of often absurd and quixotic attempts to create a libertarian utopia.
Adam and Lord Richard kick off by discussing Libertarian projects seeking to establish independent micro-nations and charter cities. They delve into various attempts, such as the Free Republic of Liberland, Prospera in Honduras, The Seasteading Institute, and the push for a Greenland acquisition, highlighting the key players and motivations behind these initiatives, and how corporate sovereignty could reshape the world order.
