Nobody really likes large-scale organizations; nobody likes to take orders from a superior who takes orders from a superior who takes orders.
E. F. SchumacherEconomic policies absorb almost the entire attention of government, and at the same time become ever more impotent.

The richer a society, the more impossible it become to do worthwhile things without immediate payoff.
