Lesson 36-1 Thecost of government
If a nation isessentially disunited, it is left to the government to hold it together. Thisincreases the expense of government, and reduces correspondingly the amount ofeconomic resources that could be used for developing the country. And it shouldnot be forgotten how small those resources are in a poor and backward country.Where the cost of government is high, resources for development arecorrespondingly low.
This may beillustrated by comparing the position of a nation with that of a privatebusiness enterprise. An enterprise has to incur certain costs and expenses inorder to stay in business. For our purposes, we are concerned only with onekind of cost---the cost of managing and administering the business. Suchadministrative overheads in a business are analogous to the cost of governmentin a nation.
