10 pasos hacia la utopía nozickiana

Michael Strong, en a Thousand Nations Bloom, enumera diez pasos para avanzar hacia una sociedad menos intervenida, por la vía de la creación de ciudades libres, la publicidad de sus éxitos y la competencia institucional. Extracto un resumen de la entrada.

1. Create a new city in the developing world using a private developer that provides World-Class legal and physical infrastructure for the city, and distribute dividends from the city to the government and people of a given nation as well as health care and education for the city.  Create a sliding scale whereby the proportion of dividends going to government and citizens changes over time from equal shares to 100 percent citizens shares.
2. Create a second, third, and fourth such Free City, and so on.
3. Finance an intellectual, activist, and public relations movement on behalf of this strategy for alleviating poverty around the world.  One way to do this is to allocate a portion of each new city development project to fund intellectual, activist, and public relations content producers on behalf of the Free City movement.
4. Create a coalition of such cities and other entities who persuade and lobby both nation-states and international organizations on behalf of greater autonomy for such jurisdictions as well as for the open-ended creation of new jurisdictions.
5. Create a network-node basis of global governance that ensures that dangerous activities (terrorism, money-laundering, the creation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, and the rest.) are adequately constrained while also allowing much greater freedom with respect to economics, governance, and lifestyle.
6. Document the progress in wealth creation/poverty alleviation, health, and education due to this new paradigm and the delta of this approach vs. the mainstream establishment approach.  Document definitively the extent to which the mainstream academic establishment has, through poor judgment with respect to its understanding of the free enterprise system, been responsible for more than a century of unnecessary war, poverty, human degradation and misery.
7. Create and continuously re-affirm a heroic narrative in all education, journalistic, entertainment and scholarly materials showing the escape from the dark ages of statism and the importance of maintaining a system of Free Cities around the world.
8. Encourage the withering away of remaining vestigial nation-state governments by means of a movement whereby citizens around the world demand direct Citizen’s Dividends rather than allowing the governments to continue to take their wealth from them.
9. Allow the network-node global governance system to interact directly with city-scale free entities and bypass relationships with nation-states.  The nation-state system may continue to survive for sometime, perhaps for centuries, but as an increasingly irrelevant atavism, playing a role in world affairs similar to that currently played by the British monarchy.
10. Further human progress takes place by means of endless entrepreneurial improvement in Free City developments and the network-node system of global governance.
