Messy and Better
I have always believed in the power of the marketplace. If you can’t sell enough people on your product or idea to sustain financial viability then the market will weed you out. It’s messy. Your idea may be great, bu your timing bad or technology is too expensive or someone has a better approach or people just move on to the next new thing. It’s brutal, but much more efficient than any other system I can think of.
Same goes in politics. I’m as sick of the endless campaigning and punditizing and the e-mails looking for money, but the system weeds out the weak and those who don’t have the fire in the belly. The long campaign also tells the candidates what we do want collectively. If someone has a stand and they stick with it and they fail that tells you something about what we really want.
I know the marketplace of ideas, services and products sounds inefficient because so many fail and so much money is spent to make them succeed. The only worse system is one that isn’t based on the marketplace.
