Hi, I'm Vinay, the author of the piece. Two points. A) crazybear, yes, see http://guptaoption.com/2.long_peace.php http://guptaoption.com/2.long_peace.php for more on this question about "what should government be doing, and what should it let go of?" B) I'm not, remotely, neoliberal. "I do not fear the State, I fear the State will collapse before we have a meaningful alternative." I'm a Gandhian, which means that in Western terms I'm probably closest to Anarchosyndicalism. But at a pragmatic level, I don't trust decentralization without a clear approach to managing small groups creating global risks, and that's an open question on all fronts right now. Nobody has a clue how to do it effectively, and the clock ticks.
