In the fourth part of the book, I explain how it is necessary to recreate the frontier in order to regain the politico-economic balance needed for free markets. There are many solutions which include a number of small and large-scale solutions. One is the development of ocean cities.

As I have mentioned before, the main concern with ocean cities is the seemingly inherent dependence on other countries for the basics. If these islands are dependent on the U.S. for everything from building materials to food, then it is not clear how they will constitute a true frontier. They will be satellites of the existing countries and thus subject to their politico-economic dictates.

This concern does not diminish the prospect, and it is certainly exciting to see a growing enthusiasm for the idea.

Be sure to check out the latest lecture on a revolutionary concept–seasteads and a potential new frontier.

In this lecture, Matt will show why traditional libertarian tactics have failed to bring about a freer society, and how seasteading, or homesteading the high seas, can radically change that. He will discuss how incentives play a large role in human behavior, and demonstrate that by altering the incentive structure of the global political landscape, we can radically improve the lives of billions of people. To help make this vision a reality, the lecture will conclude with an outline of critical research projects which need the attention of the exceptional students of Students For Liberty.
