More Fun in the New World: Cato Unbound
So the Cool Kids at the Cato Institute have put together a new little project. It's called Cato Unbound. Part blog, part trade magazine, and part forum, Brink Lindsey and Will Wilkinson clearly seek to break new ground here with a "state-of-the-art virtual trading floor in the intellectual marketplace, specializing in the exchange of big ideas." Check this out:
Each month, Cato Unbound publishes a lead essay by one of the world’s leading thinkers. Then, every other day or so, a new reaction essay by one of three commentators will appear, to be followed by a more free form discussion inspired by the initial exchange of ideas. In the spaces between, we’ll publish the best of your letters and blog posts, creating a hub for a broader conversation about our heady topics.
First on the mound: Nobel laureate James M. Buchanan, with an essay exploring the three amendments he would add to the US Constitution if he had the power to do so.
First at bat: Yale Law School Professor Akhil Reed Amar, author of The Bill of Rights: Creation and Reconstruction and former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, soon to be followed by appellate court judge Alex Kozinski and CATO chairman William A. Niskanen.
After the initial replies, the original essayist will respond and discussion will ensue. Before it's all over, a selection of readers' submissions, articles and other feedback will be added and linked. Then at the beginning of the month, a new edition with a new essayist and topic.
Don't look now folks, but I think the internet in general and the blogosphere in particular are about to gain a few IQ points. I've gone ahead and setup a block with CU's feed down on the right-hand side of this page.

The road to wisdom? Well it's plain
and simple to express:
Err, and err,
and err again,
but less, and less, and less.
