Invisible government vs. invisible gown


Posted on August 27, 2009  /  0 Comments

Xavier Damman is CEO and founder of Internet company Tweetag. He believes the best thing governments can do to support entrepreneurship is step aside and become “invisible”. Xavier explains:

 A government is like the operating system of your computer. It is a necessary piece of software and overhead to make all the different components work together. And the best government, as the best operating system, is the one you can forget about. It’s the one that lets you focus on your activities.

Governments in our part of the world behave like the king proudly strolling naked in public while wearing an “invisible” gown. Everyone also “appreciated” the royal gown (Obsolete public policy) except an innocent boy who shouted, “The king is naked!” Where is that boy?
