THREE OPTIONS FOR GOVERNMENT FREE OF CORRUPTION

The only way to avoid the principle-agent problem in politics is simply NOT to use agents. In order to avoid using agents, we have three choices:

1) Anarchic Contractual Government (no commons)

2) Direct Democracy (auctions to fund proposals for commons)

3) Demarchy / Lottocracy (randomly selected juries that judge policy proposals).

THe problem of politics is not the production of commons. It’s politicians, bureaucracy, and the inability to secede.
