[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp) 'Don't confuse me with facts!' is a cry heard throughout the world when it comes to governmental decisions.

According to her, 'self-interest is whatever conduces to the welfare or advantage of the body being governed; folly is a policy that in these terms is counter-productive'. Tuchman considered folly to be the most dangerous act of mis-government and saw it as a 'self-destructive act carried out despite the availability of a recognized and feasible alternative'.
