Will Wilkinson discusses markets, governments, and corporations, and what happens when the latter two team up to defeat the former. I generally agree, but my own intuition suggests we don’t really know how much better our rules for governance could become. If we knew, we’d presumably act on that insight.

It’s Wilkerson’s way of avoiding his internal conflict.Report
Internal conflict? Sounds Hegelian. Can you elaborate? I’m not really sure I follow.Report
I’m just kidding about Wilkinson’s apparent struggle with libertarian vs statist ideas — it might be easier to simply say a mixture is good enough — it eases the tension.Report
While we’re referring to interesting articles I’d like to reccomend Freddie’s article:
http://wunderkammermag.com/politics-and-society/forgetting-fundamentals-conservatism
It’s an very good bit of writing.Report
Good article Freddie. But when are you going to respond to either Mike ore me?Report
The problem is that I already made things too much about me before. But I’ll tell you what, tomorrow I will put some thoughts into an email to Jason.Report
If it’s all the same, I’m inclined to move on.
My post about markets was still very much doing the work of introducing me to the community. In it I made a lot of very broad claims, the full implications and justifications of which I hope will unfold as I continue to blog here. I expect you’ll challenge me along the way, of course, and I invite it.
And for what it’s worth, I quite liked “Not The Moment You Think It Is.” I even agreed very strongly with nearly all of it.Report
I was talking more about the discussion over at the Will Wilkinson post Jason linked to.
Peace.Report
Universal open carry.
And more liberal jury nullification laws.Report
