Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what William Graham Sumner said
happiness What makes a life go well: whether it is meaning, love, virtue, enough money, or simply expecting less.
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.
If we have been all wrong for the last three hundred years in aiming at a fuller realization of individual liberty, as a condition of general and widely-diffused happiness, then we must turn back to paternalism, discipline, and authority; but to have a combination of liberty and dependence is impossible.
