It may seem self-serving for a writer at a 169-year-old magazine to carry a torch for reading. But the people who make a living from words are not the only ones who lose out in a postliterate age.

The more democratic the world’s societies are, the more idiosyncratic they will be, and the more their economic rules will diverge.

This requires a uniform set of laws. Somehow, democracy is going to have to give way.
