Jeffrey Tucker on Liberty.me and How the Internet Undermines the Nation-State

“I really think the nation-state’s not relevant anymore in a
digital age,” says Jeffrey
Tucker, publisher of Laissez Faire Books and the creator
and CEO of Liberty.me, a
“social network and online publishing platform for the liberty
minded.”

For nine dollars a month, participants of the website can access
a library of libertarian classics, privately message members
without interference from the National Security Agency, learn from
professors teaching classes on everything from Bitcoin to firearm
safety, and more. 

“We are so fortunate in this generation to have access to tools
our forebearers didn’t have. We have the digital cloud. That’s a
place where we can migrate… a zone of freedom that unleashes
creativity.”

Tucker recently sat down with Reason TV’s Nick Gillespie to
discuss Liberty.me, how the site embraces “spontaneous order,” and
the benefits to providing both public and private spaces on the
platform.
