Politicians And Bureaucrats Are Substituting Their Uninformed, Largely Political Decisions For Those Of The Marketplace. Their Past Miscalculations Demonstrate That They Do Not And Cannot Possess The Information, Knowledge, Means, And Discipline To Manage The Economy.

Where Utopianism Is Advanced Through Gradualism Rather Than Revolution, Albeit Steady And Persistent As In Democratic Societies, It Can Deceive And Disarm An Unsuspecting Population, Which Is Largely Content And Passive. It Is Sold As Reforming And Improving The Existing Society's Imperfections And Weaknesses Without Imperiling Its Basic Nature. Under These Conditions, It Is Mostly Ignored, Dismissed, Or Tolerated By Much Of The Citizenry And Celebrated By Some. Transformation Is Deemed Innocuous, Well-intentioned, And Perhaps Constructive But Not A Dangerous Trespass On Fundamental Liberties.
