if a nation is essentially disunited,
it is left to the government to hold it together
This increases the expense of government
and reduces correspondingly the amount of economis resources that could be used for developing the country.
and it shuould not be forgotten how small those resources are in a poor and backward country
when the cost of government is high
resources for the development are correspondingly low
This may be illustrated by comparing the position of a nation with that of a private business enterprise
