The Grand Experiment: Offloading Risk onto the State

CHS9a1

“We presume the state is so large and powerful that a virtually limitless amount of risk can be piled onto the state with no consequences.  Offloading risk onto the state does not make the risk vanish; it simply concentrates the risk of collapse into the state itself. From the historical perspective, concentrating virtually all systemic risk into the state is a Grand Experiment. Cheap, abundant oil, expanding working-age populations and rapidly increasing productivity conjured the illusion that the state was large enough and powerful enough to absorb infinite risk with no real consequence.”
