The concept’s appeal is clear. The “charter cities” being promoted
by the Honduran government are as close as you could come to setting up your own
country, with your own rules.
The cities would mostly have their own laws and
taxes and police forces.
[...]
The whole idea has been pitched by
libertarian and technocratic theorists who see it as a way for countries like
Honduras to start fresh. Cities would work better, they argue, if smart people
made the rules starting from scratch. For a country like Honduras, where most
institutions work badly or not at all, it’s an appealing pitch.
Once safe,
secure cities with working systems were established, proponents say, businesses
and Hondurans would move to them, the economy would improve and everyone would
be better off.
[...]
The reality, at the moment, looks a lot more like
another factory zone, offering low or no taxes and few rules.
