“There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men. The worst evils which mankind ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments. The state can be and has often been in the course of history the main source of mischief and disaster.” – Ludwig von Mises – 1944
It looks like we might look for some improvement on this front, however, it will be hard earned. Perhaps we will make it by the WWIII danger. If so, we can be optimistic.
