Fifty episodes, one definition, and four corrections I owe you — including the one that undermines the whole season.

The season finale. One definition of leverage arrived at over fifty episodes: a position other people have to route through, held long enough and predictably enough that routing around it costs more than accepting it. Plus four corrections, including the admission that this season selected for countries that worked; the two arguments still worth defending — decide the rule before the money arrives, and the constraint is what makes an advantage reliable; an honest one-line summary of each of the five; and why questions faced by small economies in miniature are the questions everyone faces.
