书籍简介

曾几何时，一群自由主义者聚集在一起，酝酿了“自由城计划”，该计划旨在接管一个美国城镇并彻底消灭其政府。 2004 年，他们把目光投向了新罕布什尔州格拉夫顿，这是一个人烟稀少、只有一条柏油路的定居点。

当他们降落在格拉夫顿时，几乎所有方面的公共资金都减少了：消防队、图书馆、校舍。 州和联邦法律变成了温和的建议，在小镇的茂密荒野中几乎听不到。

这种随心所欲的气氛很快就蔓延到了附近的树林里。 热爱自由的公民无视狩猎法律和食品处理法规。 他们建造了一座帐篷城，试图脱离电网。 这一切引起了格拉夫顿邻居：熊的注意。

《自由主义者走进熊》讲述了一个时而有趣、时而可怕的故事，讲述了当政府消失在树林中时所发生的事情。 这是一个典型的美国实验的故事，充满了枪战、冒险和暗箭伤人的政客——要么自由地生活，要么死，也许会被熊咬死。

Once 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, they set their sights on Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road.

When they descended on Grafton, public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws became meek suggestions, scarcely heard in the town's thick wilderness.

The anything-goes atmosphere soon spread into the neighboring woods. 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 it all caught the attention of Grafton's neighbors: the bears.

A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear is the sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying tale of what happens when a government disappears into the woods. Complete with gunplay, adventure, and backstabbing politicians, this is a story of a quintessential American experiment -- to live free or die, perhaps from a bear.
