Paul Romer: The world’s first charter city?
Back in 2009, Paul Romer unveiled the idea for a "charter city". This year, at TED2011, he tells the story of how such a city might just happen in Honduras ... with a little help from his TEDTalk.
A charter city is a place where you start with uninhabited land, a charter that specifies the rules that will apply there and then a chance for people to opt in, to go live under those rules or not. - Paul Romer
