A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear : The Utopian Plot To Liberate an American Town (And Some Bears) is a 2020 book by journalist Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling regarding the efforts of the libertarian Free Town Project to take control of a small town's government. The town of Grafton, New Hampshire plays host to this social experiment in dismantling all sorts of regulations, which runs into trouble when bears are emboldened to come into contact with humans due to easily available food. The history of the town is examined along with a colorful cast of local characters, ranging from a pastor on a mission from God to a kindly woman who feeds doughnuts to bears.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Dying Town

comment
Dying Town: Even in the decades before the Free Town Project, Grafton was already declining economically, with its mine being closed. The lack of public investment caused by the Free Town project further accelerates the decline of the town, leading to people and a few of the named townspeople leaving it.

Deadly Euphemism: "Friendly Advice" is the term used by the author to refer to how locals talk about the guns they own and carry as a veiled warning to any trespassing.

Close-Knit Community: As expected of a small American town, which generates resistance to the Free Town Project's efforts. This is undone when the libertarian initiative succeeds.

Bears Are Bad News: Bears unafraid of human contact cause all sorts of trouble in Grafton and all around New Hampshire, from destroying fences even to attacking humans.
