Quotes by John Micklethwait (?)

“Bringing Leviathan under control will be the heart of global politics because of a confluence of three forces: failure, competition, and opportunity. The West has to change because it is going broke. The emerging world needs to reform to keep forging ahead. There is a global contest, but one based on promise as much as fear: Government can be done better.”

“George Bernard Shaw once quipped that politicians can always rely on Paul鈥檚 vote if they give him money that they steal from Peter. This understates the problem with democracy because Paul is an old man and Peter is either a child or unborn.”

“The desire to control everything is giving way to pluralism, uniformity to diversity, centralization to localism, opacity to transparency, and immobilisme, or the resistance to change, to experimentation. The state is beginning to move in each case (though it could move a lot faster).”
