No known system scales to seven billion people. (Just try to calculate what it would mean for every family in the world to buy a car.)
Why would you think that a political or economical system needs to be globally scalable to be useful? Or that it would even be desirable?
It would be reasonable to believe that a family, a business or a city should not be governed in the same way a country or a planet is.
- fixermark 11y agoIt's clear that it's not necessary for a system to scale globally to be useful. But a political system that scales globally is definitely desirable; an awful lot of human suffering is directly traceable to sub-optimal decisions made internationally because "those people" aren't "our people." There are big wins to be had for solving that problem.
