An island utopia governed solely by the rules of the market and inspired by the fictions of Ayn Rand and Robinson Crusoe. Sound far - fetched? It may not be. The past half century is littered with the remains of such experiments in what Raymond calls libertarian exit. Often dismissed as little more than the dreams of crazy rich Caucasians exit strategies have been tried out from the southwest Pacific to the Caribbean from the North Sea to the high seas often with dire consequences for local inhabitants. Based on research in archives in the US the UK and Vanuatu as well as in FBI files acquired through the Freedom of Information Act Craib explores in careful detail the ideology and practice of libertarian exit and its place in the histories of contemporary cap italism decolonization empire and oceans and islands. Adventure Capitalism is a global history that intersects with an array of figures: Fidel Castro and the Koch brothers American segregationists and Melanesian socialists Honolulu - based real estate speculators and British Special Branch spies soldiers of fortune and English lords Orange County engineers and Tongan navigators CI a operatives and CBS news executives and a new breed of techno - utopians and an old guard of Honduran coup leaders. This is not only a history of our time but given the new iterations of privatized exit seasteads free private cities and space colonization it is also a history of our future.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Adventure Capitalism A History Of Libertarian Exit From The Era Of Decolonization To The Digital Age\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Craib Raymond\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Pm Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781629639178\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 416 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 7\/5\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Politics \u0026amp; Government","brand":"Craib Raymond","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49622064267569,"sku":"IN-G-9781629639178","price":20.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781629639178.jpg?v=1724717501","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781629639178-adventure-capitalism-a-history-of-libertarian-exit-from-the-era-of-decolonization-to-the-digital-age","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
