Respectfully, MR, you need to read more widely for sure. "bean counters" imply "totalitarian regimes"? Bean counters are the life-blood of every organization on the planet. Without them your local Big Brothers or Chik Fil A's or school boards would go broke, brother. "corporate sterility", or Free Market as our founding father's preferred, have delivered in 500 years, across the globe, a humanity that is thriving in ways humans couldn't even fathom for their previous 250 Thousand years of existence on the planet. Likely, within 15 years it will virtually eliminate Extreme Poverty as defined by the World Bank! (https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty-in-brief) Since 1970 nearly 10% of the American Middle class has disappeared...because they moved into the upper middle class (https://www.pewresearch.org/race-and-ethnicity/2024/05/31/the-state-of-the-american-middle-class/). Proof. Feel free to site your sources. Peace before polarization.
"Bean-counters" who at the behest of rigged game hustlers place profit and the bottom line above human freedom, dignity, and culture are as old as time. Hitler's bureaucracy was known for its meticulous record keeping. The Communists are known for billing families the price of the bullet used to execute their loved ones. After the conflagration: "Gee--I was just following orders."
No one has a problem with free markets and capitalism. The question is: Why the sudden call for Americans to accept the suppression of free speech, incarceration for wrong think and the suspension of civil liberties? It's the same A-Bomb rattling pathological narcissism that nearly burned the world to the ground in the 20th Century?
To your point, Cato.org has begun to publish, in analog and digitally, a new quarter: Free Society. This quarter's cover story is on point: "Cult of the Presidency; America's Pathological Relationship with Executive Power". It argues well that throughout the past, in particular the past 30 years, we the people have chosen to vote for an Executive who can do everything imaginable for us, and so we attract narcissists who promise they can. Of course, they cannot. It is the first time in my 64 years I've had doubts that the Madisonian system can survive. Peace.
