Interesting, but I can't see a solution in your reply. Unless you are saying we should let the market be free, so we can have insider trading and big corps that pay less tax than a janitor (in $ terms not just %)? Laws can be reformed. Ideally laws are tidied. To reuse your analogy: "hey ! do you know how to solve the problems in this shitty code, <<refactor>>"

yes ! refactoring. I am not going to talk about my solution since its way too radical for HN. I do not think a libertarian approach will work. What you want is to prevent having any single subset of the human population from having too much power. Any single government ( cough US, China, India ) or company. We want the capacity to dynamically react to events much quicker. Look at the largest companies on the planet, Its almost impossible for them to react to changes in technology etc. And companies are not even that big compared to countries. How long do you think its going to take the US,Indian,Chinese govt to implement a voting system that takes the same effort an facebook like ? I know it sounds crazy, but its technically possible to do it. If you break up all these large countries into small countries it wont be possible for things like wall-street to exist in the first place. Local voters can see their elected representative rather than have someone 1000s of miles away making decisions for them. I derive these types of thinking from my experience in software and algorithm. when was the last time you saw a algorithm that does everything ? the best ones are small. It also doesn't take away the capacity for humans to embark on large projects. If you can get concussion you can do all sorts of cool projects. Anyway My thinking is really radical and its going to be 100s of years before we are there.
