Abstract
"Who selected these businessmen, if not to rule over us, at least to exercise vast authority, and to whom are they responsible? The answer to the first question is quite clearly: they selected themselves. The answer to the second is, at least, nebulous. This, in a nutshell, constitutes the problem of legitimacy." - Edward Mason
