A problem you might
expect is: isn't
determing whether a Don't you have to
society "works" just resolve questions
a subjective matter? like "what is the Oddly enough, this
good?" isn't really that
much of a
GOOD difficulty.
Measuring whether
a society is working
isn't controversial: Though the accuracy of
average lifespan, your sources of
infant mortality, statistics is often
cost of living... open to question.
no one seriously
disagrees that these
are important.
Though there are other things
that people general regard as
Good Things that can be a
little harder to measure, like
say, "freedom", "happiness",
"greatness"...
That typically doesn't
muddy the waters too Though
much.... hypothetically
it might
at matter
a lot.
