Following some of the links about the piece I did for TCS on Sir John Cowperthwaite (yes, I kow, so self-indulgent) I came across this site on Kowloon Walled City. I haven’t explored it thoroughly but it seems tohave been outside thecontrol of either Hong Kong or China and thus the only example we actually have of anarcho-capitalism.
Anyone who’s got a pointer to more info will be gratefully received.
From Wikipedia:
At that time, it had 50,000 inhabitants on 0.026 km², and therefore a very high population density of 1,900,000 / km². It was allegedly the most densely populated spot on Earth.
