The remarkable enterprise that was Moresnet was an unintended consequence of the Napoleonic Wars (1803 - 1815). Created as a triangle of neutral territory between Prussia and the Netherlands by the Congress of Vienna, Moresnet encapsulates the archetype of market anarchy.

Insightful, short book on a semi-stateless society
Revisado: 09-29-15
What made the experience of listening to A Century of Anarchy the most enjoyable?
The narrator did a great job with this fun, insightful, short book on the quirky, serendipitous, inspiring history of a briefly semi-stateless place: Moresnet.
What did you like best about this story?
The fact that the size and prosperity of the community kept growing over time, while the size, scope and importance of what little government it had kept shrinking.
Which character – as performed by Timothy McKean – was your favorite?
This was non-fiction, show this doesn't really apply.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The loss of their independence in the end.
Any additional comments?
Well worth listening to! Very thought provoking. Reminds me in some ways of what 's going on with Liberland in 2015.
