Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Randolph Bourne 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.
politics How people actually hold political views: tribes, partisanship, and whether anybody reasons their way in.
If the German people cannot effect their own political reorganization, nobody can do it for them. They would continue to prefer the native Hohenzollerns to the most liberal government imposed by their conquering enemies.
