That article is ridiculous. Do you know how expensive it is to pave a road? I had to pave a small parking lot (15 spaces) for a building I own and it was $20k.

It’s one think for a person to build a 400meter road it’s another for a person or company to build a network of roads. So this cute anecdote is entirely irrelevant especially when you consider that broadly over history there are no examples of road network built without governments leadership.
