- What causes voter apathy? If voters, as a group, would benefit greatly by educating themselves ("itself"?) and then voting en masse for the common good, then why do they not do so in practice?
- Why does "society" frequently regulate its industry in such a way as to benefit only the rich and powerful segment of itself?
- Why do so many groups clamor for subsidies in a mixed economy, when clearly all would benefit if such subsidies were eliminated? Why does "the people" thus act against its own interest?
- What causes crime and violence? The collectivist attributes violence to a "proliferation of handguns." What then motivates "society" to use handguns against part of itself? (Section 5 will identify at least nine factors leading to crime and violence in a social system such as our own. These factors—and their destructive consequences—will be shown to be predictable, even inevitable in such a society, provided that one understands that action originates in the individual.)
- If "the people" acts as one, then what causes legislative "gridlock"? Furthermore, why does it become more pronounced as a government becomes more interventionist?
