McKinsey have messed up government policies all over the world when it comes to McDonaldization of Society. They are using simple measurements to model how complex societies should work, unfortunately this is only works for McKinsey and their partners.
- gwd 7y agoSounds a bit like a lot of "machine learning" actually (when it's done blindly). But do you have any specific references for the kind of thing you're talking about? It sounds plausible, but if I had a dollar for every time something plausible-sounding was completely wrong...

At the end, society gives up the culture and ideals. While the ppl get short handed the partners get a bonus. Still, I think this is mostly a problem of bad public leadership that is not approachable.
