In this very entertaining piece, our frequent intellectual sparring partner Tim Wu admits that certain New York City bureaucrats may be driving him to libertarianism.
I really wish Tim would become a true libertarian. As that essay and his brilliant 5-part series essays on “American Lawbreaking” for Slate illustrate, he is an incredibly gifted writer and a first-rate thinker. And, at times, his thinking does lean in the libertarian direction, but not enough to grant him credentials to the club just yet! (Tim and I also share a nerdy affection for Dungeons & Dragons, so I have to admit to liking him for that reason. I was far to familiar with 20-sided dice as a youngster. Sad, but true).
The Technology Liberation Front is the tech policy blog dedicated to keeping politicians' hands off the 'net and everything else related to technology.
