Membership
Join The Ownership Society
The Ownership Society is Walter Barry's ongoing search for win-win policy: ideas that reduce income inequality, expand individual freedom, and close the fiscal deficit at the same time. Membership is free. It exists so the argument gets tested by people who disagree with each other.
What membership includes
Every new essay, by email
Long-form policy arguments delivered when they publish — no daily digest, no filler.
Ideas before they are finished
Members see drafts and working arguments, and their objections shape the final essay.
A direct line to Walter
Replies go to Walter Barry himself. Members set much of what gets written next.
Non-partisan by rule
Every proposal has to survive objections from both left and right. Members hold that line.
