The Myth of Political Leadership

• I can hardly think of a worse fate for any
  society than to be led into the future by the
  politicians. Even the most well-intended
  politicians are powerless to improve the world in
  any way except by an entrepreneurial approach.

• Politicians are outclassed by trends in the
  world economy, that are beyond the ability of the
  political class to control or direct.
• The globalized market economy is remaking the
  world in ways that surpass any existing
  political development in the US.

We are living through changes that may
appear slow if observed from the perspective of
the daily headlines, but which are extremely fast
and completely transforming when looked at
globally.

surprising political shifts, profound upsets in
rooted cultural assumptions, and an eventual and
merciful end to the US imperium.

• It is through examining these trends that we can
  see that we are entering into a new world of
  global economic crisis, particularly so long as
  the world is on a dollar standard and governments
  are out of any entrepreneurial approach.

• If we understand this, we can see why being led
  into the future by the political class is
  something we should neither desire nor expect.
