Conclusion.This book compares and contrasts the motivations, morality, and effectiveness of space exploration when pursued by private entrepreneurs as opposed to government. The authors advocate market-driven, private initiatives take the lead through enhanced competition and significant resources that can be allocated to the exploration and exploitation of outer space. Space travel and colonisation is analysed through the prism of economic freedom and laissez faire capitalism, in a unique and accessible book.Palgrave Studies in Classical Liberalism,2662-6489EconomicsSchools of economicsEconomic policyEconomicsHistoryEconomic developmentRegional economicsSpatial economicsEconomicsHeterodox EconomicsEconomic PolicyHistory of Economic Thought and MethodologyEconomic Development, Innovation and GrowthRegional and Spatial EconomicsEconomics.Schools of economics.Economic policy.EconomicsHistory.Economic development.Regional economics.Spatial economics.Economics.Heterodox Economics.Economic Policy.History of Economic Thought and Methodology.Economic Development, Innovation and Growth.Regional and Spatial Economics.338.0919Nelson Peter Lothianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062974Block Walter Eauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910299630503321Space Capitalism2529425UNINA
