Fascinating Talk on Charter Cities

Romer on Charter Cities is a fascinating conversation with Paul Romer of Stanford University. You can listen to the podcast.

I was very intrigued by the note below on Jane Jacob, is her Hayekian or not. Most interesting point for me was what this would do for the poorest of poor of the world. Usually critics jump on these ideas and label them elitist – “Rich are trying to secede”.

Also check out the TED presentation. Arable land versus urban space ( Romer illustrates using light points on night map of the earth) is really cool.
