Decentralizing Power: A Case for Local Governance

This chapter examines the evolution of political ideology from libertarianism to a nuanced form of neoliberalism, advocating for decentralized governance akin to Switzerland's model. The discussion emphasizes the importance of local autonomy in decision-making, particularly in managing taxes and resources, while addressing the challenges posed by NIMBYism. It also explores the implications of property rights in the face of large infrastructure projects and the need for fair compensation for affected landowners.
