{"product_id":"libertarian-walks-into-a-bear","title":"Libertarian Walks Into A Bear","description":"\u003cp\u003eOnce upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched the Free Town Project, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road, turned that plan into reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublic funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws didn''t disappear, but they got quieter: meek suggestions barely heard in the town''s thick wilderness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bears, on the other hand, were increasingly visible. Grafton''s freedom-loving citizens ignored hunting laws and regulations on food disposal. They built a tent city, in an effort to get off the grid. And with a large and growing local bear population, conflict became inevitable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Libertarian Walks Into a Bear\u003c\/i\u003e is both a screwball comedy and the story of a radically American commitment to freedom. Full of colorful characters, puns and jokes, and one large social experiment, it is a quintessentially American story, a bearing of our national soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57389428769150,"sku":"NW9781541788497","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781541788497.jpg?v=1778682771","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/libertarian-walks-into-a-bear","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
