The purpose of the political systems page is to describe the changes needed to political systems. This is a more difficult task than with economic systems for a number of reasons including:

• Attempting to ascertain public or collective needs is inherently more difficult than determining private or individual needs.
• It is easy for taxpayers to feel victimized by government, even when they are not, because the free rider problem often makes it necessary to charge everyone for non-excludable good or services, even those who don’t want the service.
• Representative democracy is inherently problematic and direct democracy, even today, is only practical in a limited way.
