Popis: If and when humans explore, settle, and establish a community on Mars, and eventually on other planets, moons, and extrasolar systems, determining what sort of political and economic systems should be set up there are explored in this chapter. Given that these explorers and colonists will be human, they will have similar biological natures as our Paleolithic ancestors who migrated out of Africa and settled down in nearly every habitable place on earth. As such, it would be prudent to start thinking about how best to govern an extraterrestrial civilization, starting with what we have learned already from the scientific study of governance on our planet. Those lessons are considered here.
