About This Book
A speculative account depicts an international initiative to establish a community on previously unclaimed fertile territory, organized to preserve absolute individual self-determination while ensuring economic justice. It sets out institutional rules: land held in common, production managed by voluntary associations that allocate output among members according to contribution, interest-free working capital provided by the society, and provisions for those unable to work. Funding is obtained via a levy on net production. The narrative follows public reception, the practical steps of founding and settling the colony, and the social, economic, and moral consequences of attempting to realize a cooperative, freedom-centered alternative to existing social arrangements.
