October 2024 News, by Richard Hammer

Earlier this year I learned about the Free Cities Foundation, now apparently three or four years old. It appears to have a purpose similar to what we were trying to achieve in the Free Nation Foundation: building vision of institutions which make a free nation (or city) possible. Such vision is laid out nicely by the founder of this new Foundation, Titus Gebel, in his book Free Private Cities: Making governments compete for you.

The Free Cities Foundation has annual meetings and I will attend their next annual meeting, November 1–3, 2024, in Prague, Czech Republic.

The Free Nation Foundation (FNF) was active from 1993–2001, publishing Formulations quarterly and holding semiannual Forums in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina. After a split in management the Libertarian Nation Foundation continued a few years with similar work. During its time FNF had around 100 paying Members and another 100 who paid only for subscription to Formulations.

As of 2021 this website is maintained by Richard O. Hammer, founder of FNF and its President until 2000.
