Reply : People, Government and the Country (Bhagwati's blog)

This is in reply to Bhagwati's post : People, Government and the Country

Agreed. But ...

It will be wrong to assume that all acts of the government which are not aligned with public will are wrong or evil.

The behaviour and action of any entity depends of its beliefs. and a lot of these beliefs spring from the information that one has. The government, being better equiped, has more information about imminent dangers, problems etc that the country might face. And not all of this can be released to the public all the time for scrutiny or vote, since keeping it secret might prevent a counter-measure.
