«Increasing centralization has been viewed as the solution for all
social and economic problems for quite some time. The basis of this
belief is rationality and efficiency. If we centralize production and
decision-making, we eliminate all sorts of inefficiencies. Decisions can
be made by "top people," and supply chains can be rationalized from a
hopelessly inefficient clutter down to a supremely rational and cost-effective pathway. Ironically, in eliminating inefficiency and messy decision-making,
centralization eliminates redundancy, decentralized pathways of response
and dissent. Once you lose redundancy and all the feedback it
represents, you lose resiliency and fault-tolerance.»
