The outsourcing of various functions could also be a step in that direction. Our current statist model is no longer workable. Its not obvious yet to the elites but give it time.
Historically, they don't seem to care if it's workable as long as it's been workable for them. Corruption has been very profitable, for them, at the expense of total wealth. Unfortunately for that fantasy, if Hollywood or Atherton think they are immune from what happened in South Central LA, they have a lot to learn.
Honest outsourcing has to come by public demand and the understanding that only a bigger pie produces real individual wealth. A state in chaos benefits nobody.
BTW, perhaps you would like to learn more about how that can be done.
