A peer-reviewed paper on the history, formation, and governance structure of Honduras's first ZEDE.
A theoretical framework for constitutional governance based on voluntary association, consent, and the protection of individual rights.
Balaji's book on network states is a fascinating thought experiment. Whether or not you agree with the conclusions, it forces you to think differently about sovereignty, community, and digital coordination.
Key ideas worth pondering:
Alex Mayyasi / 2024
Balaji Srinivasan / 2022
Jeevan Vasagar / 2021
Calvin Duke / 2021
Tom W. Bell / 2017
The best book on special economic zones and competitive governance. Bell's legal framework for 'special jurisdictions' directly shaped my work at Próspera.
Michael Huemer / 2012
A rigorous philosophical examination of why governments claim authority and whether those claims are justified. Changed how I think about legitimacy.
James C. Scott / 1998
Essential reading for anyone interested in governance. Scott's concept of 'metis' and critique of high-modernist planning is profound.
James Dale Davidson & Lord William Rees-Mogg / 1997
David Friedman / 1973
A practical exploration of how a stateless society might function. Friedman's economic approach to anarchism is uniquely compelling.
Henry George / 1879
