In this episode of The Rational Nationalist, Lee Ellis examines why governments often appear less efficient than other organizations and explores whether that outcome is inevitable.

Using socialism, bureaucracy, and institutional incentives as a case study, the episode examines how organizations develop interests of their own, how bureaucratic structures expand over time, and why the goals of institutions, offices, and individuals often diverge from their original mission.

Topics include:

• Government efficiency and public trust • Organizational interests vs. stated intent • Bureaucratic growth and mission drift • Personal incentives within institutions • Why voters often feel they aren't getting value for their tax dollars • Whether effective government is possible
