Politicians don't build societies, technocrats do. And such technocrats don't pick up the mantle out of sheer altruism, but mostly for their own pursuit of happiness. And as he pursues such fulfillment, the technocrat develops resources and capabilities enabling enterprise. Following in the same vein, he hires people willing to trade their time for money. With the right amount of disposable income, these employees can in turn purchase goods and services from yet another group of semi-technocrats, the petty bourgeois merchants and providers, and the cycle goes on. Therefore, politicians are not the answer to society's ills no matter how well-meaning. They represent a vaguely normative form of progress- right and wrong public policy-but not what is critical and necessary such as individual health, well-being, and material freedom. Those lie squarely elsewhere.
