ETT UTDRAG FRÅN EN AV HARRY BROWNES BÖCKER DÄR HAN SKRIVER LITE OM ORWELLS BOK 1984
The government is one big Group Trap. To be efficient, it depends upon millions of bureaucrats whose incomes and careers don’t depend upon efficient action. The people who operate the super-secret spy agencies are simply human beings — with ulcers, family problems, interoffice memos to answer, staff meetings to attend, girl friends to see when they can sneak away from the office, office opponents to outmaneuver, and the constant interferences inherent in any bureaucracy.
The government is an inefficient, bureaucratic mess. It isn’t surprising that its programs always turn out to cost more than expected, that it almost never successfully completes a project, that bombers bomb the wrong cities in Vietnam, that it’s usually rallying its citizens to be patriotic and sacrifice to compensate for the government’s mistakes.
In the book 1984, George Orwell pictured a totalitarian society that has become the standard view of the total state of the future. Everyone’s life was controlled by computer, and there was a TV camera in every room to monitor everyone’s activities. Fortunately, such dramas overlook the fundamentals of economics. The larger the government, the less efficient and productive is the economy. Slaves don’t produce with the enthusiasm, incentive, and imagination that free people do.
Bureaucratic programs just don’t work as intended.
So while the totalitarian state may include a TV camera in every room, I doubt that the camera will work.
Vilken kul avslutning. Harry Browne kunde verkligen uttrycka sig och samtliga av hans böcker är läsvärda. Ovanstående kommer från boken ”How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World” (skriven 1973).
