I have advocated for Quadratic Voting here at Risk & Progress a number of times. With QV we can schedule a proper balance between majority rule and the “tyranny of the majority.”

For the most part, we try to do this using bicameralism today, QV is just a bit cleaner and more efficient.

The method does seem like a viable alternative to QV. It's quite fascinating.

I'm not yet part of the decision theory google group.

A substantially improved version of the paper is already accepted in Journal of economic interaction and coordination.
