In a short chapter with the strange title Capitalist Trucks, Friedman answers the question of how a state differs from a condominium, and also advises potential truck buyers on whether to buy a Kamaz.

On the one hand, Friedman’s arguments could encourage supporters of contractual jurisdictions. On the other hand, he also points out their limitations: such communities will inevitably be compact and small in number because the negative effect of scale is very pronounced in democracies. So enthusiasts of charter cities have something to think about. For example, whether their cities need a single system of law, or whether the development of most norms should be left to condominiums and other local organizations.
