Power structure
When making small technical gadgets, we are ingenious. But those largest and incomparably more important ones—the systems in which we live and work—we don't even look at!
By calling them power structure, we point to this most costly error's most interesting cause: We do ot adapt our institutions to their purpose, because they serve us a different one: They provide a structure within which our various power strifes, both personal and collective, are being played.
A result is that the power structure becomes our enemy. We become our enemy!
