ALL GOVERNMENTS ARE CORRUPT. A GOVERNMENT BY NECESSITY, AS A MONOPOLY, IS CORRUP

ALL GOVERNMENTS ARE CORRUPT. A GOVERNMENT BY NECESSITY, AS A MONOPOLY, IS CORRUPT.

There are no good government other than rule of law. Only less bad governments. Politicians do not save people. They are parasitic. The least parasitic are simply the best we can manage.

Ukrainians are under the illusion that good government will save them. But what saves the west is all those little judges, lawyers and juries running around. The politicians take credit for it. But they do almost nothing of value, and a lot of harm.

Prosperity is created by money, credit, contract, courts, and entrepreneurs. Period.

Yes, Ukraine needs a purge of the government – the Russians and communists must be force out, and if necessary into prison or back to Russia.

But that in in itself just reduces the criminality and corruption of government and does not create any wealth. Ukraine needs western jurisprudence. Reliable courts mean reliable credit.And credit is what allows you to benefit between NOW and LATER.

We are not wealthier than cave men. We have made everything cheaper, by moving what we could have much later, to what we can have now. And credit and interests are the tools for increasing production and consumption now, instead of later.
