Questions for the New Century

What to do about despotism?

How do we make every one so inclined a property owner?

First question: By example. The example of Saddam, say. "If you give up your absolute power and hold free and fair elections, maybe we won't send the Marines in, trash your palaces and chuck you in jail."

Second question: Keep interest rates low. Look at infrastructure projects that will help make rural communities viable so that people have choices other than the big cities (with their chronic housing shortages and ludicrous land prices).

Neither problem is one you can solve but they can at least be addressed.
