Darwyyn Deyo: Permissionless innovation or permission to work?

New Zealand has a reputation of being a country of risk-taking innovators, from bungy jumping to Zorbing. Some ideas may be better than others, but Kiwi entrepreneurs thrive or fail depending on whether customers like their idea. Their success is partly based on the model of a permissionless society that knows competent adults can make their own decisions on whether to take risks. I’ll go whitewater rafting, but I won’t go bungy jumping – though I won’t stop others from doing so!
