About Jonathan Blumen and The Ethical Spectacle
Contribute to the July issue: "What is Government For?" We are seeking comments and articles of any length, from a paragraph to a thesis, on the proper role of government (if any) in our lives. Email Jonathan Blumen with your suggestion or article.
Write for the Spectacle! Articles on any ethical, political or legal topic will be considered, whether or not I agree with the opinions expressed. I am also seeking correspondents to cover Washington, business, the Net, foreign countries, and other zones of interest.
Coming next month: War Crimes. June: The Bomb. July: What is Government For? August: The Media.
