Disparity of power

David S. Landes in Wealth and Poverty of Nations, page 63-4, identifies three conditions or factors that cannot coexist.
1) Disparity of power
2) Private access to power
3) Equality of groups or nations
This is like the old manufacturing adage; "Faster, cheaper, better - Pick two"
