Bureaucracy is a wonderful thing, an amazing achievement for humanity. Compare a nation with a functioning bureaucracy vs. a nation that doesn't. The paperwork chain breaks corruption, breaks broken incentives, localizes the impact of cheating and makes it accountable. If it's implemented well. Bureaucracy doesn't have to be a dirty word, although we're all disgusted by the waste it can cause. Especially I see in the U.S. where government systems tend to be waayy worse than I'd experienced working within the government in Canada. Even banks have a different internal character between the US and Canada; at least the one Canadian bank I've worked in simply did a much better job of having a functioning, appropriate systemized bureaucratic means of operation than the inane politicking-slowpoke-dysfunctional bureaucracies of some of their competitors. A few of my friends at Google have complained about bureaucracy there, so shrug I'm not sure Eric Schmidt would exactly be our saviour here.
