A libertarian walks into a bear : the utopian plot to liberate an American town (and some bears) / Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling. by Hongoltz-Hetling, Matthew. PublicAffairs, 2020. Call #: 974.2044 H772L Subjects Free Town Project (Grafton, N.H)   Libertarianism -- New Hampshire -- Grafton.   Decentralization in government -- New Hampshire -- Grafton.   Human-bear encounters -- New Hampshire -- Grafton.   Grafton (N.H.) -- History.   Grafton (N.H.) -- Politics and government. ISBN:  9781541788510 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  viii, 274 p. ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-274). Summary:  "A tiny American town's plans for radical self-government overlooked one hairy detail: no one told the bears. Once upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched the Free Town Project, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, they set their sights on Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road. When they descended on Grafton, public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws became meek suggestions, scarcely heard in the town's thick wilderness. The anything-goes atmosphere soon caught the attention of Grafton's neighbors: the bears. Freedom-loving citizens ignored hunting laws and regulations on food disposal. They buit , on the other hand, were increasingly visible. Grafton's freedom-loving citizens ignored hunting laws and regulations on food disposal. They built a tent city, in an effort to get off the grid. The bears smelled food and opportunity. 'A libertarian walks into a bear' is the sometimes funny, sometimes frightening tale of what happens when a government disappears into the woods. Complete with gunplay, adventure, and backstabbing politicians, this is the ultimate story of a quintessential American experiment - to live free or die, perhaps from a bear."--Jacket.
