Let A Thousand Nations Bloom


Hat tip to  Marginal Revolution for a pointer to Let A Thousand Nations Bloom:
Our blog begins with the truth of Winston Churchill’s comment on democracy–that it is the worst form of government except for all the others that have been tried. Unfortunately many then falsely deduce that democracy is superior to all forms of government which can ever be imagined. We believe this assumption to be deeply misguided.
Like any technology, democracy was once a radical innovation, thought unlikely to work. Now, it is the industry standard. Our aim is to find, analyze, and debate the innovations in governance today that may become the standards of tomorrow, especially those that utilize the best technology for social organization ever developed–the market. We are particularly interested in the meta-innovations that will alter incentives in the governing industry to improve the rate of innovation.
