- The American bureaucracy isn't better, than the Russian one or, say, European, - editor-in-chief of FORUM.msk Anatoly Baranov considers. - Every bureaucracy is organized approximately identically, though of mandarins of Tsin epoch or of yuppies of the modern America. If you are bothered by a sound of transformer, normal reaction of the bureaucrat will be to switch off electricity in all area. If you have to find where Kaddafi hid his billions, it is possible to liquidate bank secret all over the world. No one cares that abandonment of bank secret makes existence of banks in Switzerland? Universal pay off with bank cards has already liquidated in the west payments with simple money. You won't make any more or less significant purchase with cash - they simple won't take your money. No body cares that that personified money is already not money which we have got used to see during last 5-6 thousand years. They will think of it when they will definitively undermine monetary circulation system all over the world.
