{"product_id":"a-libertarian-walks-into-a-bear","title":"A 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\u0026gt;","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44788861927603,"sku":"9781541788510","price":1704.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478018919781541788510.jpg?v=1762835124","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/a-libertarian-walks-into-a-bear","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
