Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Slate has a column with an interesting suggestion on realigning interests in the hiring of public auditors. I've suggested that the exchanges that list the stocks -- audits are only required for public corporations, after all -- be responsible for the audits, but the audit insurance idea put forth in Slate has advantages in terms of how different costs are imposed on different companies.
