What's your take on the weekly economist's "three" necessary reforms?

I always find myself sort of shaking my head a little when I read Morton's columns. Maybe it's because if I had my way, our society would be a little more socialistic and Morton always seems so libertarian to me. Education is necessary, yes. Always. And yes, I do think it typically crushes independent thinking, which is a pity.

I don't claim to know much about economics, though, so I don't feel in a position to comment on Major Moves and the economic benefit of leasing instead of selling.

But I'm not sure that the General Assembly is a problem. The opposite can happen, which the IBJ reported on, with Carl Drummer and Center Township. It was a case of an unchecked local government creating it's own "fiefdom." It created quite an outrage, as I recall, that he went unchecked for so long, that there wasn't enough oversight.
