Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what David Hume 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.
journalism How reporting is made and why to believe it: sourcing conventions, incentives, and reading across biased accounts.
But I would fain go a step further, and assert, that such a liberty is attended with so few inconveniences, that it may be claimed as the common right of mankind, and ought to be indulged them almost in every government except the ecclesiastical, to which, indeed, it would be fatal.
