It's absolutely worth campaigning for but if governments were logical and followed value, we wouldn't need this. My original example used failed states, but can you image pitching this to Alabama or Massachusetts? Perhaps we can speculate that the difference between a successful charter city and industrialized world cities is too small to be worth it. I'd still like to see this in Massachusetts, but let's accept the premise. Then perhaps a developing nation like any one of the East European states, I'm originally form one of those and would LOVE something like that. Too bad no present government in that area will let it happen. But think of all the benefits, why not? Because again, if the people in charge acted rationally according to economically beneficial facts we'd already have economically booming cities. Even in Greece, the Mogadishu scenario would be the good outcome, not that EU human rights laws and what not would ever let it go that bad, but then at least people could be deported. But the bad scenario is success, now you have a bunch of economically successful foreigner on your home soil! The next best thing would be high taxes, the most likely next thing would be much worse and typical of Balkan history. And the sad thing is this has been done. Mainland China did it with it's economic free zones, what now 20-30 years ago? And it has been spectacularly successful. So everybody's rushing to copy this, right? Well India is dipping its toes in it. very slowly with tiny zones, and they are not nearly as un-regulated as they could be, but at least it's something. The only other example I can think of is actually North Korea, where because of Kim's train's tours of booming China, some tiny tiny faintly capitalist zones have been set up. And that's about it. Best of luck to the effort, but I just think it's so naively idealistic, childish almost.
