Life Is Complicated, and That Is Good

If you have ever thought that life is just getting too complicated, you may well be right. Life can indeed be too complicated. There is evidence that today many aspects of the way we live are over that limit, and it is this that explains many of the problems we face and the everyday irritations we encounter. This is not a simple matter of markets versus politics or public as opposed to private. Certainly government is the source of much of the excessive complexity, most notably through its regulative function, but much of it has purely private origins. Excessive complexity is found as much in business and its practices as in regulations and laws put out by the state.
