olcombe lays out issues of consensus versus democracy, with consensus illustrated by market systems in which all those whose property rights are involved agree to transactions, (p. 29) but in government, “a group is able to undertake more extensive collective action if it requires less consensus to act.” (p. 30) And the slippery slope is that
[t]he more citizens want to further national goals through government action, the less consensus they will demand in the collective decision-making process. (p. 33)Share
