Thesis Update

Release Schedule

I will be publishing here various sections of my upcoming Thesis as a part of the Mises Graduate School. I will do my best to publish one section per week released on Friday AM eastern US time.

As a reminder the thesis is covering the unique nature of city-states and their governance structures. We will explore their rise and fall over time, their successes and failures as well as numerous other aspects about them including trade and entrepreneurship, monetary and fiscal policy, defense, and dispute resolution and more. The idea is to understand if city-states generally exhibit success in terms of human development and flourishing and if so, why.

Finally, we will take particular note of forms of privatized governance in each city-state and attempt to provide guidance for future Free Private City developments.

These posts will be for paying subscribers only. The final product will likely be adapted for a book in the future. I look forward to your feedback.
