The very people who are supposed to apply the reforms often oppose them. Political appointments are short-lived and no politician has sufficient time to implement his concept or vision. And the young - they mean well but have no life experience. We have negative mentality, a legacy of socialism, when workers sought to blame the managing class for all their country's ills. Now, these people need to believe in something, to have a dream, to strive to change the situation to improve everyone's lot, not only their own.
Some people say that the low salaries are a disincentive.
Because of managerial anarchy and waste. People plunder their own workplaces, no one benefits in the long run and everyone is left impoverished. Management must have a vision to change things - and then the ability to implement its vision. When we cut the bloated state administration - we don't bother to check who is needed and who is dead weed. We cut a fixed percentage across the board, the productive and the non-productive alike.
