As you'll see in the piece, we've all tried that, and gotten shot down. One incident in my personal experience. I was on a panel with an activist lawyer who was touting the importance of encouraging small business development in NYC. When I pointed out, as I often do, that small businesses pay less, offer fewer fringe benefits, are more dangerous places to work, and are harder to organize than large businesses, this was dismissed as "the paralysis of analysis." The point, you see, is to do, not to think.
But everyone should run out & buy a copy of Radical Society and read our piece. Do it now!
