Adventure Capitalism by Raymond Craib
A History of Libertarian Exit, from the Era of Decolonization to the Digital Age
A critical history of libertarian “exit” schemes—from micronations and seasteads to charter cities—that sought to build private enclaves beyond democratic oversight. Drawing on episodes from decolonization through the tech era, it shows how these ventures intertwined with colonial legacies, racial hierarchies, authoritarian regimes, and corporate power, often exploiting local populations and legal gray zones. It argues that the dream of escaping the state ultimately remakes and reinforces it, exposing the material interests behind market utopias.
