258: Questioning Authority: Max Borders’ Vision for Expats

Today’s guest is Max Borders, author of the book Underthrow: How Jefferson's Dangerous Idea Will Spark a New Revolution. 

Max has been an outspoken supporter of decentralized systems and individual freedom and has authored four books deeply exploring humanity's movement toward societies of decentralized governance.

Today, Max joins the show to explain his radical idea to “underthrow” the government through what he calls “subversive innovation.”

CONCLUSION
I had a blast talking to Max about his ideas, and I simply love that his focus is all about how to make them work in the real world, not simply in hypothetical fantasyland. As I often discuss, far too many great, freedom-loving libertarians that I run into wind up stuck in the realms of philosophy and policy.
