How free marketeers are realizing their ultimate goal: an end to nation-states and the constraints of democracy.
Over the last decade, globalization has shattered the map into different legal spaces: free ports, tax havens, special economic zones.
With these new spaces, ultracapitalists have started to believe that it is possible to escape the bonds of democratic government and oversight altogether.
Crack-Up Capitalism follows the most notorious radical libertarians--from Milton Friedman to Peter Thiel--around the globe as they search for the perfect space for capitalism.
Historian Quinn Slobodian leads us from Hong Kong in the 1970s to South Africa in the late days of apartheid, from the neo-Confederate South to the former frontier of the American West, from the medieval City of London to the gold vaults of right-wing billionaires, and finally into the world's oceans and war zones, charting the relentless quest for a blank slate where market competition is unfettered by democracy.
A masterful work of economic and intellectual history, Crack-Up Capitalism offers both a new way of looking at the world and a new vision of coming threats.
Crack-Up Capitalism offers an alarming view of a dystopian future.

“Warning: This is fresh tofu. You will be tempted to use it to create what you think are cunning and seamless imitations of hamburgers, chicken, and meatloaf to both impress and chasten the meat eater in your life. It will fool no one. So just stop that shit and merely enjoy your tofu.”
If you keep making that face it’s gonna get stuck that way. You’ll see.
