Welcome! This group exists to discuss futarchy, Robin Hanson's idea.

He summarizes it as "Vote on values but bet on beliefs". For a
non-technical introduction, see the first few posts in the forum, from
October 2007. There are links in the links section and papers in the
files section.

I'm sorry to report that its creator, Robin Hanson, is either not
willing or not able to see certain flaws in futarchy. I say this with
certainty after a long and frustrating discussion with him.

It seems a shame to me to let such a promising idea die because of its
creator. I would like those flaws to be recognized and fixed. They
won't be if we pretend they don't exist.

That's why I created this group. Its purpose is to discuss futarchy,
flaws and all, in a constructive manner.
