Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Bertrand Russell 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.
democracy Elections, the losers accepting them, and the rules that keep power answerable to voters.
