Summary

We bring on journalist Ian MacDougall to discuss the libertarian intentional-community of Prospera, a failing city-state in the Bay Islands of Honduras, where Thiel- and Andreessen-funded weirdos have tried to create a land where anyone can open a business with any law, from any jurisdiction, anywhere, adjudicated by some guys in Arizona. We’re not making this up. Read Ian’s article here! https://restofworld.org/2021/honduran-islanders-push-back-libertarian-startup/ Part 2 is already available on the Patreon!
