What Is Scalability and Size in Politics?
The civil war fundamentally still impacts an American sense of itself. I don't think any American historian can write an objective history, the American civil war. It's so fundamental. And it creates a series of dichotomies which you're still living through today in different ways. If you consolidate things into two big units, you make them more rigid. They become more effectively, they become less flexible. There is something about scalability and size that we're not paying sufficient attention to in businesses or in politics at the moment.
