Super useful and low-key inspiring.
I'm absolutely convinced that libertarians fundamentally misunderstand human nature, ie we are totally depraved, so there's no way a society could organize itself at scale without government intervention beyond what they think is moral.
But I do like the emphasis on pure theory balancing the hard numbers.
Ask me about case studies that curb my enthusiasm for libertarianism.
