Politics

I am not a fan of politics, but every society, every group or even charities have their own politics. In the economics term, each individual/social group has different objectives and this creates a wrestle among different parties. Holy places like Christian Churches have different politics, I have seen Elders voted against pastors and pastors voted against Elders. This is sad cruel reality.
Small ethical groups in Moncton have politics too. I am involved in a small group and I observe a major turnover of the decision board. In modern Western developed democratic societies, people have rights to vote in order to determine who runs the show. The outcome of election, usually, is directly or indirectly determined by their capital campaign, i.e. politics. Elections are not likely to be efficient in an economist's viewpoint. Elections are costly and political turnovers create negative externalities. I love reading some articles published by Ronald Wintrobe who studies dictatorial environments. A dictator rules using two operands: Love and Power. A caring, intelligent dictator may outperform a democratic political power. Did I hear anyone say Fidel Castro?
