History
In the 1790s, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison published a newspaper focused on government and public policy that they named National Gazette. The political philosophy these Founding Fathers spread in the pages of the Gazette are as important today as in the build up to the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791.
Information Markets
Information markets are "yes or no" future events, such as "Barack Obama will win the 2008 general presidential election". Academic research has proven that the current price of that market becomes an accurate probability of that future event occurring.
A community, not a corporation
If National Gazette is to be a forum for Jeffersonian thought, it must be designed with Jeffersonian ideals. The newspaper uses an open architecture and aims to rally a large number of contributors to its digital pages. Absolutely anyone can write an article, upload photos, write comments, suggest a market, trade a market, and contribute in other ways. Not only that, but we invite the best writers and traders to become editors. We welcome your intellectual and emotional contribution anytime you're kind enough to add some meaning to our world.
