No method in the madness
A new critique of the V-Dem democracy rankings highlights where the problem lies

Why state must cede power to communities
The general assumption that states must have a monopoly of power is fundamentally flawed. It is leading to broken societies
 "Why state must cede power to communities")
The jobs & technology trade-off
Do we need to curb technology that replaces jobs? The jury is out
 "The jobs & technology trade-off")
Denting democracy
India is heading for judicial authoritarianism as the system of checks and balances has gone askew
 "Denting democracy")

It is a myth that high-profile religious and political projects have little to do with development

Labelling all conservatives fascist is no tribute to democratic values
 "The case for a non-hyphenated democracy")
