Futarchy

Common card · No. 369442

Futarchy is a form of government proposed by economist Robin Hanson, in which elected officials define measures of national wellbeing, and prediction markets are used to determine which policies will have the most positive effect. It was named by The New York Times as a buzzword of 2008. The idea has been subsequently expanded to explore its potential in the context of blockchains and the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). The term "futarchy" combines the word "future" with the suffix "-archy," reflecting its claim to use market predictions to create a "rule by the (predicted) future".
