    There’s a pretty interesting book about New Hampshire libertarians called “A Libertarian Walks into a Bear”. It’s about a libertarian utopia that was overrun by bears.

      There are some good articles about it too. It was part of their attempt to turn the state of New Hampshire into a “free state” run on libertarian principles.

      Turns out libertarian principles included not picking up garbage in bear country.

      Also, some of the geniuses were actively feeding the bears.

        Maybe I’m just cynical but literally nothing surprised me in the book.
