Back from a long weekend in the semi-autonomous free zone of Prospera

on the Honduran island of Roatán for the “Alternative Visions in Governance” conference hosted by Reason Foundation.

Lots of stimulating discussion about “markets in governance” and the power of exit.

A phrase that stuck with me as I contemplate the power shifts unfolding in the early 21st century: “Softening of sovereignty.”

Will be sharing a recorded convo soon.
