Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what John Adams 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.
From this principle it will follow, that the form of government which communicates ease, comfort, security, or, in one word, happiness, to the greatest number of persons, and in the greatest degree, is the best.
