Such a lovely piece about valuing a really good local restaurant by @msrachelcooke.bsky.social (in last week’s Observer). She writes warmly about Trullo. I feel the same about the wonderful Les 2Garcons in Crouch End.

This is a fine, insightful book on those political aspects of the Ostroms’ work that receive less attention than they deserve. Highly recommended.
