I agree with a lot of the description of what you are saying.

The political factor (if you can call it that) is that most
major changes in either a society or country seems to
take a generation. I am not sure why but it is very often
true. The distance between cheap copies and quality
products for example is about 25 years. This seems
to occur on a lot of levels. The political factor is an attempt
to change this time constant to extend the status quo
or speed up change through (dis)incentives.

Coffee's ready...
