Alex Tabarrok argues that the Pacific Islands have seen several attempts, such as the Republic of Minerva. Charter cities have been another proposal for breaking out of conventional political arrangements to create a system with much greater scope for innovation in rules.[2] Robert Nozick's book Anarchy, State and Utopia contains a final chapter that describes a pluralistic libertarian utopia.[3]
Proposals for an anarcho-capitalist society are regarded by Drieu Godefridi as "inherently utopian".[4] David Boaz has argued that the consumer choice facilitated by a free market system would create a framework that could offer "thousands of versions of utopia to suit the desires of different people".[5]
