Forget GDP, and focus instead on living standards, people’s ability to get what they want. When you do that you’ll see why, contrary to universal belief, capitalism helps the living standards of the less well-off much more than those of the rich. You’ll also see why no matter who or what the government taxes, or even if it taxes nobody, nearly the entire cost of government is paid for in the form of reduced living standards for the poor or anyone else on a tight budget.

Google was the coolest thing out of California since the skateboard was invented there in the 1950s as they took a bunch of disorganized web pages that made up the Internet and organized with their PageRank algorithm.

The Internet moves fast, and Google has been transformative in its deployment of Android, cloud services, and much more since its inception, but they aren't the fastest horse in the race any longer. The US DOJ is right to consider breaking Google up as they ...

This is a book about the technologies, systems, and public policies that are necessary to achieve justice. Humanity's technology is evolving at an exponential rate, but our laws and cultural norms evolve at the speed of justice.
