Fabulous new article in @AJPS_Editor by Geertje Bol – on the "double standard of ambition" 👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

"Een centraal argument in mijn boek is dat we wetenschappelijke instellingen moeten bestuderen op de manier waarop economen hebben geleerd om overheden te bestuderen: niet als verzamelingen belangeloze dienaren van het algemeen belang, maar als actoren die reageren op prikkels."

Friends, it is time for some old-school Twitter pedantry. A Condorcet cycle is absolutely not "a demonstration of Arrow's theorem in the wild." 1/

I made some plots to help visualize why coalition formation in Israel is so difficult right now We are witnessing an extremely rare situation that political scientists call a "Condorcet cycle" - a demonstration of Arrow's impossibility theorem in the wild!

Thank you @bkogel89! Excellent paper, and I agree the study of mini-publics is mature enough to subject itself to this kind of systematic criticism. Mini-publics have proven themselves; now what? I for one wouldn’t jump to abolishing elections (my own rhetoric to the contrary perhaps) without learning a lot more.

I'm really proud to work for Hackett. We are a fully employee-owned company, publish excellent books at very affordable prices, and are as much like a family as we are a business. There aren't many small, independent publishers anymore, but I'm glad to be part of this one.
