Is the USA driven by abstract economic argumenents instead of the decisions of elected representatives?
I thougt the US had a fairly standard "town council" arrangement, with the councilors having large autonomy and being beholden primarily to voters.
The autonomy breaks down here. People will vote for building more roads or for less road spending, because only those options are present.
