I’ve written the lead essay for this month’s Cato Unbound. I’ve got a habit of laughing at my own jokes. My favorite from the Cato Unbound essay:

As long as elites persist in unmerited deference to and flattery of the majority, containing the dangers of voter irrationality will be very hard. Someone has to tell the emperor when he is naked. He may not listen, but if no one speaks up, he will almost surely continue embarrassing himself and traumatizing spectators.

Tune in during the week to see replies by David Estlund, Ian Shapiro, and Loren Lomasky…
