Timothy Allen talks with Mark Edge.
Mark is a passionate advocate for the Free Cities movement and a veteran voice in the libertarian community. In this episode, he shares his journey into the world of Free Cities and discusses his unique experiences that have shaped his understanding of governance and personal freedom.
Mark reflects on his early encounters with the Free Cities concept, particularly through his connection with Próspera in Honduras, and the pivotal role it plays in offering a viable alternative to traditional governance models.
The conversation delves into the complexities of modern governance, exploring the balance between individual rights and the role of state power.
We also discuss topics such as the implications of technology on privacy, the evolution of political ideologies, and the ongoing struggle for freedom. Mark’s insights provide a hopeful outlook on the potential for Free Cities to foster a new era of autonomy and prosperity.
Enjoy the conversation.
