Welcome to Galt's Gulch

“Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision.”

Ayn Rand

If you find yourself here then it is by design, which is to say you that you have been invited to participate in, and be a part of a unique exercise among Objectivists.

While most Objectivists agree that bringing about philosophical change within the nations we currently inhabit is the way forward there are some for whom a concrete example of laissez faire capitalism (LFC) is the preferred course of action.

This preference is in no way opposed to or hostile to the current intellectual activism of any Objectivist groups or individuals but is seen as a complimentary action which will help expose a greater number of individuals and groups to the ideas and ideal of Objectivism, which is to say the practical application of true laissez faire capitalism.

This blog is the first step toward the actual realization of a LFC state. In it we will explore options for the establishment of the LFC state, plan and cost the vital requirements necessary to undertake those options, develop practical governmental models based on Objectivist political theory, and develop theoretical models for private sector control of services currently provided by governments in western democracies.

Welcome to Galt's Gulch.

  1. How exciting! Have you identified any possible "failed states" for this exercise? What do you think of the idea of finding a small island nation in the Pacific?
