Not long ago our Online Think Tank had considered the perfect Utopia and all the philosophical debates from Plato's Republic and Atlantis to Thomas Jefferson to Milton Friedman.
In fact we took a gander studying many civilizations such as the Byzantine Empire, Aztec Civilization, Greeks, Romans, Chinese Dynasties and well you get the idea.
We study economies, trade routes, slavery, colonization, Dictatorships, Communism, Feudalism, Socialism and present period first world nations.
Recently, I read an interesting assessment comparing Friedman VS.
Plato online; http://www.

aspx?id=012907A Thus we temporarily re-opened the topic.
One gentleman in the think tank stated; They both got it wrong.
And indeed this is of interest but in reality Plato most likely had not encountered the projection of a Planet with 300 nations and 6.
8 Billion Humans on it.
In fact the gentleman went on to say; "Plato wanted "the good society" and Friedman wants a "prosperous society".
No plan I have ever heard of would have actually worked in practice.
What is actually feasible, given the diversity of people and their goals in this world (or any society)?" Indeed looks as if he is preaching to the choir.
My thoughts are concentrate on the state; Flows of Civilization, then overlay the people and if they ever do grow up they can do so on top of the perfect foundation that was build by wiser men.
In fact it seems wise to re-look at these questions over and over again and analyze such things and invite further input, experience and knowledge.
I hope this article has propelled thought in 2007 and helped you in your quest to be the best.
