--
Anna (Annadurai) wanted to gain power to bring about reforms. However, in his own time he saw the decadence of power. He saw how power corrupts. So he was a disillusioned man at the end.

--
The bureaucracy is strong in this country (USA), and unlike other countries, hard to bribe.

Well innovation is how America works. The characteristic of America that is different from other countries is that we have more jobs lost and more jobs created per year than anybody else.

Once you’ve found the global optimal, why waste time looking for something else? - Rajeev Motwani
--
My own theory of attitude of intellectuals is that the market is too big to control, so massive that it can't be understood in conventional frames of thought too caught up with the overt symptoms to delve into the underlying framework.
