Government is Irrational.

What a load of bullshit propaganda. Especially considering that government routinely contracts private companies for road construction.

There is a difference between building roads and getting roads built. Roads serve an important socio-economic function in a country, especially in underdeveloped areas. Private companies would only build roads where they can make a profit. Government would build roads even where it would run at a loss simply because it'd in the long term benefit of the country as a whole.

That is not even close to what I said. Try reading a bit more closely this time.

We'd need a government even if everyone in the society is moral and rational.

Everyone has their own reasons. It'd be foolish to generalize.

(July 8, 2013 at 8:30 am)Koolay Wrote: And you are saying none of these people are in government?

No one is saying that.

And there would be much, much more of that if there wasn't a government.
