    Book description

    Governments across the globe have begun evolving from lumbering bureaucracies into smaller, more agile special jurisdictions - common-interest developments, special economic zones, and proprietary cites. Private providers increasingly deliver services that political authorities formerly monopolized, inspiring greater competition and efficiency, to the satisfaction of citizens-qua-consumers. These trends suggest that new networks of special jurisdictions will soon surpass nation states in the same way that networked computers replaced mainframes. In this groundbreaking work, Tom W. Bell describes the quiet revolution transforming governments from the bottom up, inside-out, worldwide, and how it will fulfill its potential to bring more freedom, peace, and prosperity to people everywhere.

    Reviews

    'Tom W. Bell is the expert in new legal systems for new governments, and his book provides a perfect combination of theory, practice, and enthusiasm to make competitive governance seem not only vital for human betterment, but also a fun adventure.'

    Brian Doherty - author of Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement
