Management Cannot Solve Problems. Nor Can It

Pessimism: A Valuable Protection Against Quackery.

Of Course, Corporations And Governments Have A Right To Something For Their Money. They Pay The Wages. But They Don't Have The Ethical Right To Literally Purchase The Copyright Of A Citizen's Potential Contribution To Society. In A Democracy They Should Not Have The Legal Right To Silence The Quasi-totality Of The Functioning élite In Order To Satisfy A Managerial Taste For Control And Secrecy.

Rights Are A Protection From Society. But Only By Fulfilling Their Obligations To Society Can The Individual Give Meaning To That Protection. (v - From Ideology Towards Equilibrium)

Elites Quite Naturally Define As The Most Important And Admired Qualities For A Citizen Those On Which They Themselves Have Concentrated.

If Individuals Do Not Occupy Their Legitimate Position, Then It Will Be Occupied By A God Or A King Or A Coalition Of Interest Groups. If Citizens Do Not Exercise The Powers Confered By Their Legitimacy, Others Will Do So. (i - The Great Leap Backwards)
