Can running a business really be compared to running a country?
In business there are clear indicators of success (loss and profit) and business leaders are strictly held accountable for their performance.
Are there such clear indicators of correctly running a country? per capita GDP? Account surplus and deficit? Safety and security?
Although I agree with parts of Mr. Dershowitz's ideas I do not think we can draw a comparison. A failing business goes insolvent and at worst people must look for work elsewhere…countries on the other hand have no choice to dissolve.
