[Still Thinking]

Publius and Bill The Drill had a group reading and commenting on Rand's Atlas Shrugged a few years ago.

The US government in the book is cronyist, redistributionist, and arrogant enough to think the economy can (and should) be centrally controlled. They wound up with the kind of ripple effect from their meddling with the levers that my quoted paragraph reminded me of.

I tagged you for courtesy since you were the OP of the paragraph I quoted.
