Politics and the Application of Political Influence

I think that's the crux of my concern is that politics and political institutions are tools for accomplishing ends in the world. My worry is that the more that the political tool is being controlled by people who are obsessive about politics, then we can end up in this like cascade where we essentially crowd out other tools that might work better. I have a very expansive concept. When I think of politics and when I talk about politics, I do mean it quite expansively.
