The State Is Out of Date

Does anyone really think that politics is working - aside from those in power and behind it? Has anything really changed since Churchill advised us, in 1947, that democracy is the worst form of government - except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time? Can we afford to continue believing that some new tweak or variant of central government by coercion is going to work? "Chaos theory" offers an alternative to government: things self-organizing into working and stable systems, inexplicably organized from the bottom up. We see the consequences that top down control and regulation has had upon our food chain, the health of the nation and its citizens, the liabilities of corporations, our personal security, and the next generation's education. They're not doing a very good job.
