Ethnic Politics
There are ways that business gets done in coercive societies where one ethnic group controls one set of resources and other ethnic groups control other resources. It's about knowing who the "get things done guy" is in your neighborhood and understanding how to communicate with that person.. you need to know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy etc. The guy is a fixer, an arranger, the godfather, a cousin, an uncle, your sisters boyfriend etc.. You can't buy the cooperation of such a person... it's more on the order of doing a favor for a friend basis. It's not exactly a political function though it does have some impact on political events, it's more like a free lance entrepreneurial position.. you get the job because of your knowledge of people and circumstances, your ability to communicate across cultural boundaries is essential, your understanding of how people function in their real lives as those lives connect with their dreams and aspirations is the ultimate deal maker... There was an excellent movie made about such a situation, set in San Francisco, where the arranger holds court in a neighborhood bar, just sits, talks with people, reads the paper etc.. just hangs out day after day, most all day long just doing his job doing favors for friends and helping things work out all right. This arranger is a libertarian, you can see his libertarianism in action as he tackles first one problem then another, always as if, as just how things work, his superior knowledge suppling the missing link to making the deal come together, the people around him love him in a way because he is always on the side of right as most liberty loving people understand it... not right as the legal process understands it but instead right as people in their most sacred hearts understand it.
