WOULD the world be a better place if it were governed by physicians instead of politicians? The Greek scholar, Plato, asked that question 2,500 years ago. After all, physicians focus on healing the sick and promoting the health of the well. Why would you not want to put them in charge? That focus, Plato says, is precisely why you should not let them have that power. There is more to a good life and a good society than health alone. The art and science of the politician lie in balancing the claims of health with the claims of liberty, prosperity and creativity.
