Mission
About
I work on governance innovation with a focus on institutional design, policy experimentation, and the systems that shape human agency.
The Thesis
The Problem
Governance failures create avoidable suffering. Institutions move slower than technology, incentives drift, and the people closest to problems often lack the authority to fix them.
The Lever
Governance reform is the highest-leverage intervention. When rules improve, every downstream system improves with them.
The Mechanism
Special economic zones and regulatory sandboxes create bounded, opt-in environments where new policies can be tested, measured, and scaled without forcing a single model on everyone.
The Vision
A world where governance evolves through competition, feedback, and choice. New institutions emerge faster, people have real options, and experimentation is a default rather than a rare exception.
The Work
I write, research, and build tools to map institutional experiments, surface lessons, and help builders translate ideas into durable governance systems.
The Philosophy
I am guided by classical liberalism, human agency, and the belief that voluntary systems should outcompete coercive ones through better outcomes.
Bio
I work at the intersection of governance, technology, and economic development. My focus is on institutional design, governance experimentation, and the practical steps needed to make new models real.
I share essays and field notes here, along with the books and ideas that shape my thinking.
