Delusions of grandeur, government power, suffocating regulations

A Devil's Bargain In The Desert: Hoover Dam And The Coming Of The Leviathan State - Forbes: " . . . the proliferation of regulations since the 1930s has made the great endeavors of Keynesian worship all but impossible.  The Empire State Building went up in eighteen months and ended a competition for the title of “world’s tallest building.”  By contrast, cutting through red tape and building anew at Ground Zero took a decade.
