I really like this essay, and it is rare to find something in my own field of research in which I can’t find nits to pick.

However... do you have a reference to that “taxation creates surplus” argument? I have seen that a few times and, frankly, it is bonkers. No one ever seems to cite it, however, and it really deserves a good tear down.

Brilliant essay. "Institutional commons" is such a useful concept.
