Free to Move

Moral compass

Jonathan Glancey (Guardian 20.6.09) recommends Ruskin's Unto The Last as essential reading for politicians. "Political economy is not a mechanism, it's an organism." I couldn't help seeing a parallel with our unjust traffic control system. Traffic engineers see humanity as chaos to be ordered and mechanised. Would it function better if it were seen as an organism and free to self-organise? You can guess my view. Bring on the JET (Junction Efficiency Trial) to prove it right or wrong!
