In times of continuity, competent government is sufficient. Steady the ship, communicate clearly, deliver a few technical fixes. This is not such a time. This is a time of discontinuity, in which the “system itself starts to show signs of fatigue, instability, disintegration.” In these times, government must be willing to break constraints which were previously thought unbreakable: “It is not enough to settle for policies which cannot save us, on the grounds that they are the only ones which are politically possible or administratively convenient.”
The hour is late.
'O England, model to thy inward greatness,
Like little body with a mighty heart,
What might’st thou do, that honor would thee do,
Were all thy children kind and natural!'
