This is not to deny that there must be change and reform. Modernism brings its own problems. But the problems must be looked at in the light of the accumulated wisdom and foolishness of the ages. Frequent tampering with the rules by over-ambitious reformists endangers the whole development that began with the renaissance and received a new lease of life from the industrial revolution. See section 26 .
Government regulations affect every aspect of life.
Government regulations are drafted by human beings and human beings have their imperfections and fallibilities. The growth of bureaucratisation and government has put the whole system into reverse. This has been discernible from the 1960's. It has strangled the relative freedom that has been responsible for the growth of production and that fostered development. There is a correlation between the growth of government and the increase of poverty.
