The central volume of the author\’s series the LaNague Chronicles. Mostly science fiction adventure, but it includes a \“neo-anarchist\” eutopia, more accurately a libertarian eutopia with \“a bare minimum of public institutions: police, judiciary, penal, and administration\” (79). In the author\’s introduction to The LaNague Chronicles. Ed. and sequenced by the author. New York: Baen Books, 1992, he says that his ideas were inspired by Ludwig Von Mises (1881-1973), the Austrian economist who lived and worked in the U. S. from 1940 and Murray Rothbard (1926-1995), a U. S. member of the Austrian School of economics and one of the founders of the von Mises Institute, or, as Wilson puts it, \“a rational anarchist, an advocate of laissez fire, a radical capitalist\” (viii). In the introduction, he characterizes the LaNague Federation as encouraging \“any type of society, no matter how bizarre or crazy the philosophy at its core. . . . With a single proviso: free egress must exist at all times. Anyone who wants to opt out of that society must be allowed to do so\” (viii-ix).
