I think we should be willing to embrace a system that has a better mix of voluntary philanthropy, non-traditional-government programs for wealth transfer, and government decisionmaking. It’s the second category I’m most excited about, which looks a lot like decentralized proposals. I’m concerned that most extant decentralized proposals, however, have little if any tether to reality. On the other hand, I’m unsure that larger governments would help, instead of hurt, in addressing these challenges.
