Social:Libertarian utopia
There have been many attempts and proposals to create a libertarian utopia in the context of right libertarianism.[citation needed] Anthony van Fossen writes that every tax haven is a variation on the theme of the sovereign right-libertarian utopia.[1]
Alex Tabarrok argues that the Pacific Islands have seen several attempts, such as the Republic of Minerva. Charter cities have been another proposal for breaking out of conventional political arrangements to create a system with much greater scope for innovation in rules.[2] Robert Nozick's book Anarchy, State and Utopia contains a final chapter that describes a pluralistic libertarian utopia.[3]
A theoretical libertarian utopia based specifically on anarcho-capitalism is sometimes called by the name Ancapistan a combination of the terms 'ancap' and the suffix 'stan'.[4]
Proposals for an anarcho-capitalist society are regarded by Drieu Godefridi as "inherently utopian".[5] David Boaz has argued that the consumer choice facilitated by a free market system would create a framework that could offer "thousands of versions of utopia to suit the desires of different people".[6]
