The author is associated with the Cato institute. He's also a proponent of "Free Cities," cities within a national boundary that don't have to comply with national laws like environment, human rights, workers rights. A return of the company town, unburdened by pesky shit like democracy. It's good for business! Freedom to innovate without the burdens of the last 150 or so years of social/cultural development!

My best guess is that Jim O'Neill is an antisocial demon.

That explains quite a bit. Anytime I hear whining about regulations, my first thought is to wonder which people the author wants to throw into the furnace of industry.

Life shouldn't imitate Dwarf Fortress.

Yes, avoiding inconvenience is definitely worth giving a generation of factory workers black lung.
