I got a refreshing break from the gloomy election news at a talk on Wednesday by Patri Friedman, who seems determined to give his father some competition for the title of most effective advocate of freedom.

Mike Linksvayer (whose blog I ought to read more regularly) has a good summary of the talk. I’ll try to comment on this topic once I’ve read the online book on the subject, hopefully in time for the related talk by Spencer MacCallum at the Nov. 13 meeting of the Saturday Night Anarchy Club.
