Has anyone written a fictional story about what it would be like to live on a libertarian island that was intentionally built that way? I'm having a difficult time with understanding how it would work. After the headache Ayn Rand left me, I would hope that this idea has improved in the last several decades.
I sympathize with the Rand headache. I only made it about half-way through
Atlas Shrugged before the dramatic, long-winded prose, and idealistic two-dimensional characters defeated me.
Withur We might be what you are looking for. I believe it's the author's first book and the writing seemed a little stilted to me at the beginning but I think it improves throughout the book. Libertarianism and Austrian economics are littered throughout the book, but the story is interesting and I thought the anarchic society was handled even-handedly. I don't want to say much more because I don't want to spoil the story. It's a novel with a definite ideological bias but it's pretty good reading.
