>I believe the premise of the title. But the main question should be: why? And the article does not really answer that, well beyond censorship. Lobbying does hurt, societies more in centralized governments due to stronger trickle down effects. As the top of the organisation is linked to multiple parts of the system. But, there is however another reason why centralized governments are really not as effective as we want them to be. There is the notion that, a centralized system (top down) simply cannot process requests of a society as well as a ground up system (decentralized). This Idea was articulated by F. A Hayek in his essay "The use of Knowledge in society" [0]. To summarize Hayek's case in point, his reason was that, as requests to process tasks make their way up to bureaucracy, information about the granularities and complexities of the needs are lost. The more bureaucracy the less effective the service delivery. [0]: https://fee.org/articles/the-use-of-knowledge-in-society/ https://fee.org/articles/the-use-of-knowledge-in-society/
