Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Edmund Burke said
government What states are for and what they are worse at than markets and networks: legitimacy, moral hazard, and who may be entrusted with power.
All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue, and every prudent act, is founded on compromise and barter. We balance inconveniences; we give and take; we remit some rights, that we may enjoy others; and we choose rather to be happy citizens than subtle disputants.
Where this was said
