principle, every western citizen (Western Europe and US) has an
equal say in the political processes of his/her state. In practice,
of course, some of us are more equal than others. On paper, were are
one-person-one- vote nations. In reality, we are more than a bit of
an oligarchy, in which a handful of wealthy people dominate.

the most visible one;
(ii)
is this unavoidable in a society based on industrial production
within current technolo- gical systems?
