Using technology, we perform tasks that a previous generation couldnt imagine. And to what do we owe these wonders? The miracle of entrepreneurial drive working through open markets, made possible by the Internet. About one year ago, my friends and I began to imagine the next step. The digital world is this generations frontier. What if we follow the path of our ancestors and found a new city in the digital cloud? What if this new city helped us rediscover liberty in a despotic age? It will. Frontiers do this. The wonderful result is Liberty.me, a place of friendship, learning, and publishing for anyone seeking more freedom. Weve been hard at work now for eight months putting it together. We wanted to replicate the experience of living in a community—the only difference being that it lives on the Internet. And we are just now ready for new residents. As high-tech as this all sounds, it is actually a repeat of old themes from history. In the early Middle Ages, people migrated from rural isolation to feudal lands in search of security, food, and a better life. When feudalism transitioned to capitalism, people moved to the cities in search of even more. In every migration of this sort, there are two forces at work: the desire to escape privation and sometimes despotism, and the search for more opportunity and prosperity. Or you can summarize the driving force in one word: freedom. The story of freedoms march is bound up with all the great migrations in history. caseyresearch/articles/the-great-migration
