Innovation Collides with Bureaucracy

The political process exhibits a resistance to change and an impulse for control, often solving issues through top-down mandates without genuine reform or creative destruction. New bureaucracies continually emerge but never dissolve, leading to a perpetual expansion of government rather than efficiency. This growth threatens the foundational engine of creative destruction essential for prosperity. A critical decision looms for voters: whether to rein in the ever-expanding government and foster space for capitalist innovation or to allow government overreach to stifle progress. The inherent contradictions of economic systems highlight the challenges of governance and resource distribution.
