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.
Upon this point all speculative politicians will agree, that the happiness of society is the end of government, as all divines and moral philosophers will agree that the happiness of the individual is the end of man.
