"I was there in Buenos Aires when everything collapsed. I saw actual chaos & anarchy in the streets.
I got robbed by my apartment guard. I got robbed by the taxi driver on the way to the airport when I tried to escape.
I saw how the Peso just lost all its purchasing power in four hours."

"My background is not in finance. I started learning about money because of the pandemic.
They took my rights then & I knew that they would take my rights over my property & my money next. So I had to get educated about it.
And that's what I recommend everyone to do."
Efrat Fenigson helps us to prepare for the coming of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) on the podcast this week...

The rise of Special Economic Zones may be the most important global trend you haven't yet heard about.
Our new documentary, Zones of Progress, is released today and tells the fascinating story of these zones for the first time.
Special Economic Zones—parts of countries with their own rules and regulations—have been quietly growing in number over the past half-century. There are now more than 7,000 worldwide, and they are shaping the development of countries as diverse as China, the UAE, and Honduras.

"To maximise freedom, you need to live by a code and you need to have discipline.
My version of freedom is not 'I can do whatever I want'. That just sounds like juvenile, self destructive, immoral & unethical behaviour".

Best strategy when starting a #FreeCity ?

When traditional governments intervene in the market economy, their actions have unintended consequences that usually lead them to intervene further. This creates a cycle of ever-greater interventionism that is ultimately unsustainable.
Our new paper argues that Free Private Cities provide a solution by changing the way public services are funded and altering the way governments can operate within society.
Recommended reading for those interested in the economic foundations of Free Private Cities.👇 #note1qk6…k79e

When governments rely on taxes to fund services, they have no rational way of deciding how much to spend. This leads to the misallocation of resources and cycles of interventionism.

Last week at the World Economic Forum, Javier Milei explained why viewing the economy as a cake of fixed size is a mistake.
In Free Cities, we aim to grow the cake by unbinding the hands of entrepreneurs and allowing the market discovery process to work. https://video.nostr.build/2a10aff15460bda47a920973857eb4abdb7861961665ec911ced48e095152d25.mp4

What will governments of the future look like?
Alex Voss points to three trends that are shaping the future:
1. Special jurisdictions are becoming more numerous, autonomous, and are increasingly operated by private companies.
2. The world's population is increasingly mobile, and people with high-value skills are shopping around, viewing governance as a service.
3. Technology is enabling decentralization in numerous arenas, especially money. This gives jurisdictions more options to become financially independent.
What other trends will be important to the future of governance? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Alex's new blog post "The Future of The Market of Living Together" goes into detail:
