Próspera: Libertarian City on the Rise | Adelaide News
Description
A libertarian utopia is taking root on Honduras’ Roatán island: Próspera, a private city run by U.S. investors, offers zero taxes, self-designed laws, and rapid permits—drawing tech rebels and biohackers eager to test radical ideas like algae longevity drinks or body implants. Backed by Silicon Valley money, it promises economic salvation for poor nations but sparks fierce debate. Critics call it a “state within a state” that erodes sovereignty and fuels tax havens, while supporters hail it as a corruption-free engine of growth. With its own courts, police, and legal system, Próspera’s explosive expansion could become a global blueprint—or a cautionary tale of neo-colonial ambition.
