Adventure Capitalism: A History of Libertarian Exit, from the Era of Decolonization to the Digital Age Craib Raymond
Imagine a capitalist paradise. Sound far-fetched? An island utopia governed solely by the rules of the market and inspired by the fictions of Ayn Rand and Robinson Crusoe.
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. It may not be. 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.
