You have so many stories about interesting episodes in history that aren't widely known (e.g. about art, about Jewish life). 1) Do you have a system for finding under-reported stories? 2) Are there certain periods of history that are especially ignored relative to how much went on?

I'm a big fan of you and David Friedman, esp. your respective works on what a voluntary society will like.

Do you think that private laws can emerge in this age of the internet/technology/startups? Do you think that maybe we can use technology to replicate the commercial ties/family relations/religious customs that have made private law societies work in the past?
