504. Are Startup Cities the Future of Liberty?

In today's flagship episode of Lions of Liberty, Marc welcomes in Michael Strong to discuss the concept of Startup Cities - a term he coined at a 2013 Voice and Exit talk. Michael breaks down how the concept of special economic zones first took route in smaller geographic areas like Hong Kong, Singapore and Dubai, and how the same concept is now being applied to startup city projects all over the globe. Marc and Michael discuss concepts like parallel legal systems with existing governments, land tax as a source of funding for these cities, and just how one can go about becoming a part of one of these startup cities.
