A World without Rules Yes, indeed, even the effects of an improved management of rules has to be measured, and that is far from trivial. I try to imagine a world without rules: I enter a bank to apply for a new loan; I have a good chat with the bank employee; he looks deep into my eyes, and my loan application is approved..
