@billyjoebowers Personally I think it has to do with organisation size. Large organisations are inefficient and slow; bad. While small organisations are efficient and fast; good. There are very few small governments out there so government has become synonymous with inefficiency. While most companies in the world are small and therefore efficient. Efficiency the behemoths want to be associated with "company" rather than size I'd imagine.

Well, it's just an observation and theory of mine anyway.

I think that's an idea that seems like it would make sense, but the real world doesn't reflect it.

There are many small organizations that are ridiculous. Most?

@billyjoebowers You might be right. I don't feel I have enough experience with lots of different organisations for that observation to possibly be no more than coincidence.

I often ponder this optimal organisation size in regard to an ideal civilisation. What is best managed locally, regionally and globally? Ideally move everything to as local as possible other than systematic things that impact everyone. The systemic things might only be environmental, as it's the definitive shared resource, so effectively regulatory. This logic then highlights the obsession conservatives have against the UN, EU etc.
