Even when well run, democracy took little interest in the distant future, aristocracy took little interest in the well-being of those whom Simpson calls the “little people,” and monarchy took little interest in anything other than legitimate succession.
Aun cuando estaban bien administradas, la democracia se interesaba poco en el futuro lejano, la aristocracia, en el bienestar de aquéllos a los que Simpson llama la “gente pequeña”, y la monarquía, en nada que no fuera la sucesión legítima.
