Tao Te Ching

“The problem was the managers. Not for them the open struggle of ideas in the marketplace of policy. It was turf politics, building alliances not to further the general good of the body politic, but to cement advantage... to feather their own nests—not to solve problems, but to use problems to strengthen position.”
