The Enemy is the State

Pick any domain — schools, money, medicine, housing, roads. Wherever government took over, the same pattern follows: costs climb, quality falls, alternatives disappear. The institution itself is the variable.

• The argument that the failures of government aren’t bugs to be reformed but the predictable output of monopoly coercion
• Walks through education, money, medicine, charity, and roads — what each looked like before government touched it, and what it became after
• Separates “who should rule?” from the question that actually matters: “should anyone rule at all?”

The problem isn’t that the wrong people keep winning elections. It’s the chair.
