A mini-conference today and tomorrow at Lund University brining together analytic political

True. But Leeson is a liberal/an-cap, and while I don’t follow him, he might be able to persuade the ones the left can’t reach.

Thanks, Stephen Merchant! He’s been a patron of our kids’ primary and now secondary school for years. Wish all the comprehensives in the area had this level of support - including the fab PTA groups too obvs. Lucky kids!

This is an excellent review of a book I am now very keen to read.

One more for you to consider, assuming the others didn’t take your fancy: @ingridrobeyns.bsky.social Limitarianism: the case against extreme wealth.

If you do nothing else on BlueSky today, just peruse this thread and repost. Our collective futures rely on expropriating the wealthy.
