MÜZEDE KARŞILAŞMALAR

If Próspera were a normal town, Jorge Colindres, a freshly cologned and shaven lawyer, would be considered its mayor. His title here is “technical secretary.” Looking out over a clearing in the trees in February, he pointed to the small office complex where he works collecting taxes and managing public finances for the city's 2,000 or so physical residents and e-residents, many of whom have paid a fee for the option of living in Próspera, on the Honduran island of Roatán, or remotely incorporating a business there.Nearby is a manufacturing plant that is slated to build modular houses along the coast. About a mile in the other direction are some of the city's businesses: a Bitcoin cafe and education center, a genetics clinic, a scuba shop. A delivery service for food and medical supplies will deploy its drones from this rooftop.Próspera was built in a semiautonomous jurisdiction known as a ZEDE (a Spanish acronym for Zone for Employment and Economic Development). It is a private, for-profit city, with its own government that courts foreign investors through low taxes and light regulation. Now, the Honduran government wants it gone.

Libertarians and fans of Ayn Rand would like to dismantle our labor laws and any regulations that interfere with the rights of corporations. This week on the Heartland Labor Forum […] The post ZEDE Prospera: A Libertarian Fantasy with Nightmare Results and Bob Bruno’s What Work Is: How Worker See Work appeared first on KKFI.

In this episode, we delve into the controversy surrounding the Prospera charter city in Honduras, which has embraced libertarian principles and adopted Bitcoin as legal tender and a unit of account. The city is currently embroiled in a legal battle with the Honduran government. Gene asks Jeffrey Mason, from Charter Cities Institute, what it all means for the future of charter cities. Jeffrey provides some good examples of how charter cities still have a lot of potential, and he talks about projects CCI is involved in in Africa, particularly in Zanzibar. Tune in to gain insights into the intersection of governance, economics, and innovation in the context of charter cities.Please get in touch with any questions, comments and suggestions by emailing us at contact@economicsexplored.com or sending a voice message via https://www.speakpipe.com/economicsexplored. About this episode's guest: Jeffrey Mason, Head of Research, Charter Cities Institute Jeffrey joined CCI as a Researcher in 2019.

Central America has long been plagued with crime and corruption that has stifled foreign investment and slowed economic growth. That's where Próspera comes in. Próspera is a special economic zone or Zonas de Empleo y Desarrollo Económico (ZEDE) on the island of Roatán in the Central American country of Honduras. It's a legal autonomous zone with its own fiscal, regulatory, and administrative architecture - which is the key to its success and challenges. Not bound by the overburdened regulatory system of Honduras nor its complicated tax system, Prospera provides incentives for start-up companies and investors to thrive. More importantly it provides the legal framework for a stronger Rule of Law in a country whose current government is destroying the Rule of Law. For Episode 28 of the Border Wars Podcast we are joined by Nick Dranias, the general counsel of Próspera, to discuss the recent attacks made by the Xiomara Castro government in Honduras and efforts at indirect expropriation of foreign companies that are not Chinese or Russian. Who is behind these attacks? How far are they willing to go?

Nell'ultimo decennio in Honduras sono nate delle “regioni speciali” con caratteristiche molto peculiari. Sono le Zede (las Zonas de Empleo y Desarrollo Económico), e oggi nel Paese sono tre: Próspera, Orquídea e Ciudad Morazán. Funzionano come città-stato indipendenti, ispirate alle fantasie di investitori miliardari come Peter Thiel e Marc Adreessen che da tempo vagheggiano paradisi fiscali basati sulle criptovalute. La corte suprema le ha da tempo dichiarate incostituzionali, ma in tutta risposta, il parlamento ha messo in stato d'accusa diversi componenti della corte e nominato al loro posto dei giudici più malleabili. Il tutto, come sempre nei casi del liberalismo più sfrenato, a vantaggio di pochi e a danno di molti. E ora è lo Stato stesso a finire in tribunale.Fonti degli inserti audio contenuti in questa puntata: “Digital Technology”; “Greedy journey”; “Caribbeans tales”; “Futuristic wave”; “Where to look”

Cal is the co-founder and CTO of an energy and governance company, Signal Power and Light, with coal mining operations in Northern Alabama and a special governmental zone, ZEDE, in Honduras, ZEDE Orquídea. Cal's work in governance and energy as a means of addressing global poverty stemmed from his early economic work connecting statistical physics to economics, which has been completed with The Quantum Foundations of Utility and Value. Cal is an accidental engineer, choosing nuclear engineering on a whim because it was hard and seemed interesting. He served 10-years in the nuclear Navy driving submarines, finishing his last tour as the Engineer Officer on the USS Florida (SSGN-728).   Before leaving the Navy, Cal became interested in climate change after watching An Inconvenient Truth. Confused as to why nuclear was not featured prominently, he modeled a nuclear buildout using Small Modular Reactors to repower existing coal stations and then using the nuclear heat to drive Coal to Liquid synthetic fuels. He presented this to the American Nuclear Society in 2010, The Impact of Small Modular Reactors in a Carbon Constrained Economy, and attempted to patent the technology, but later found that there were already many similar patents from the 1970's. He even tried to pitch the idea to the coal industry in 2012, but it fell on deaf ears.   Thinking that he was on to something and seeing policy as a major hurdle in preventing a nuclear buildout, he went to Georgia Tech to learn more about public policy and to see if he could find a solution, which he managed to do. His doctoral work created the conceptual design of a sodium fast reactor with thermal energy storage replacing the intermediate loop. He showed that by marrying the two technologies, we separate the kinetics of the energy demand from the reactor kinetics (reactor safety) and can confine the regulator's warrant to just the nuclear island. 7-months after defending his dissertation, TerraPower took the concept and in October 2018 began detailed engineering of what was to become Natrium. While at Georgia Tech, and in response to Fukushima, Cal suggested to the world that we use concrete pump trucks to refill the spent fuel pools instead of helicopters.   Cal's current work is revitalizing and adapting the Karrick Process to the swelling coals of the Eastern United States, his company has finished the conceptual design of the pilot facility and will start construction in the near future and hopes that one day he will be able to marry this technology with a nuclear reactor. He has also extended his theoretical economic work and shown the relationship of energy and value with Bitcoin (soon to be published) and for the entire US economy (unpublished). Having developed actual technologies that increase energy access and reduce carbon intensity, he sees the entire global warming policy complex as a scam to give away tax dollars and create fake assets for traders to manipulate.   Coal is not the enemy, bad policy and insufficient energy access are. https://twitter.com/cal_abel https://www.signalpowerandlight.com/en/ https://www.signalpowerandlight.com/team/cal-abel/ Cal Abel on the Decouple Media podcast: https://youtu.be/fwacuS1Dy3I ========= About Tom Nelson: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR Twitter: https://twitter.com/tan123 Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about

Host Jeremy Quinby has a conversation with Zede' Harut, founder of Seeds Worth Sowing, a non-profit based in Minneapolis, serving black and brown parents and caregivers seeking to offer sustainable economic support, housing, and community support. It's over-arching goal, based in abolitionist principals, is to build mutual aid and reduce harm for our community's most vulnerable populations. Zede's non-profit work grew out of posts she started doing on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/holisticheaux/ over the past few years challenging medical and state-funded institutions in regards to care for black and brown mothers and their children. When she's not community organizing she is farming and homeschooling her 2 young girls. https://www.seedsworthsowing.orghttps://www.instagram.com/holisticheaux/https://www.instagram.com/swsnonprofit/https://www.instagram.com/grandrisingsfarm/

ZEDE update, Afropolitan, and we're going to Disney World! https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/model-city-monday-62722 Goodbye, ZEDE Law The story so far: in the mid 2010s, Honduras passed a first-in-the-world law saying that private actors could apply to run charter cities / special economic zones (ZEDEs) on Honduran territory. Three groups took them up on the offer and designed various interesting projects. In January, Honduras kicked out the right-wing government that passed the ZEDE law and replaced it with a socialist party led by Xiomara Castro, which had made opposition to the ZEDEs part of its platform. In April, the new government repealed the ZEDE law, with uncertain consequences.

Today's guest on the Expat Money Show is Peter Young, the Managing Director of the Free Cities Foundation. He leads the operational management of the foundation, with oversight over project delivery, communications and finance. Before joining the Free Cities Foundation, he spent most of his career based in Beijing supporting trade links between the UK and China.   TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH PETER How the growth of countries like Hong Kong, and Singapore have been so successful and why most countries chose not to adopt this kind of system even though they find them inspiring. Focusing on building a new Hong Kong and a new Singapore to give more people the choice regarding the kind of place they want to live in and what that might look like for the future. What do Honduras, El Salvador and West Africa have in common when it comes to governments and how their history can change what's coming. What is a ZEDE? What do they do? Where are they located? And why should you even care? Where is the focus now for Free Private Cities? What can be done to ensure they are successful and that governments don't come along and wipe them out with the stroke of a pen! Countries and projects that have ZEDEs, like Honduras, and what happens when they are started by a government that is no longer in power.  How all the work that goes into building a ZEDE can be disrupted and why having a strong legal foundation is so important. El Salvador… how are things on the ground with their adoption of Bitcoin? Panama and cryptocurrency. What does the future hold for this Latin American country?  Living in the most efficient and effective manner possible and what that can ultimately look like in the years to come. Lastly, we talk about Free Private Cities. What does the organization stand for? How do they work? And how do they actually help and make changes in these countries?    Liberty In Our Lifetime, Prague October 21 - 23, 2022 Theme - Parallel Structures For Progress https://lifetimeliberty.com (https://lifetimeliberty.com) Use Coupon Code: Thorup20 to receive a discount of $20 on your ticket   RELATED EPISODES https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/patrick-hiebert (190: How To Build A Self Sustaining Libertarian Community In Latin America – Patrick Hiebert) https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/john-bush (182: Creating Your Freedom Cell Overseas - John Bush) https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/jason-stapleton (172: Building A Community For Liberty Minded Entrepreneurs – Jason Stapleton)   HOW TO REACH PETER YOUNG  http://www.freecities.net (www.freecities.net) Twitter: https://twitter.com/FreePrivateCity (FreePrivateCities)   CONCLUSION I know you will enjoy this episode that I had with Peter Young.

The recent move by the Honduran Congress to repeal the 2013 law authorizing the Zones for Employment and Economic Development (Zonas de Empleo y Desarollo Económico, or ZEDEs) has wide-ranging consequences for the country's economic future. While the Zones have been heavily criticized by the Castro administration, eliminating them risks a complicated legal and political battle in no party's best interest. In this episode, Ryan C. Berg sits down with Matthew Rooney, Director of Outreach and Strategic Partnerships at the George W. Bush Center. Together, they discuss expectations for the ZEDE model and its impact on economic growth, as well as some of the obstacles the zones confront when it comes to political stability and change. They also discuss the implications of the vote by Congress for the ZEDEs, and investment in Honduras more broadly.

Our guest on the Mobility Standard podcast this week is Mr. Titus Gebel, a German-born lawyer and entrepreneur who is now dedicating his life to the development of Free Private Cities, jurisdictions embedded within conventional states but operated by private companies for profit; a peaceful and voluntary alternative to the coercion-based systems of government we have today. "The defining feature of a Free Private City is that it's run by a for-profit company that acts as a government service provider, so to speak," says Gebel. In this capacity, he explains, the private company - the "operator" - offers citizens "the protection of life, liberty, and property, services that include both internal and external security, a pre-defined legal and regulatory framework, and independent dispute resolution."Interested individuals and companies enter into a citizen's contract with the operator and pay a fixed annual fee for the operator's services, instead of paying taxes."Within that framework, which is relatively limited," continues Gebel, "a spontaneous order can develop, which emerges from the voluntary activities of the citizens."Crucially, the operator cannot later unilaterally make any changes to the citizen's contract but would need the permission of the individual citizen concerned.A citizen's contract, he explains, gives the individual far better legal protections than, say, a constitution, because "there is no third-party like a majority or a parliament or a government that could infringe upon your contract."In the podcast, we also went into detail about:The latest developments in the field, with an emphasis on the ZEDE projects in Honduras;The historical precedents for Free Private Cities;The long-term ramifications of successful Free Private Cities;Technology's role in the decentralization of political power and the rise of sovereign individuals; andWhy the European Union, which is totally opposed to special economic zones, is unlikely to survive the next three decades.Listen to this illuminating and heartening episode in its entirety by clicking the player below, or find the Mobility Standard on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
