Decentralization / Devolution
- Concentration of power is bad for freedom; dispersal of power is good for freedom.
- If people can "vote with their feet," they can avoid coercion to a greater degree.
- Competition in attracting customers/taxpayers leads to better services and less authority. Inefficiency, redistribution, violence, and war is costly, and loses out in a market for liberty.
- "Small is beautiful."
"Whenever something is wrong, it is too big." - Leopold Kohr
