Subsidiarity Is The Principle That Government Works Best Most Responsibly And Responsively When It Is Closest To The People It Serves And The Needs It Addresses. Fiscal Accountability Is The Principle That Institutions Collecting And Disbursing Taxes Work Most Responsibly When They Are Transparent To Those Providing The Money.

Cities Never Flourish Alone. They Have To Be Trading With Other Cities. My New Hypothesis Shows Why. But Also In Trading With Each Other They Can't Be In Too Different Stages Of Development, And They Can't Copy One Another.

Modernism Really Started With People Getting Infatuated With The Idea Of "it's The Twentieth Century, Is This Suitable For The Twentieth Century." This Happened Before The First World War And It Wasn't Just The Soldiers. You Can See It Happening If You Read The Bloomsbury Biographies. It Was A Reaction To A Great Extent Against Victorianism. There Was So Much That Was Repressive And Stuffy. Victorian Buildings Were Associated With It, And They Were Regarded As Very Ugly. Even When They Weren't Ugly, People Made Them Ugly. They Were Painted Hideously.

In Trading With Each Other Cities Can't Be In Too Different Stages Of Development, And They Can't Copy One Another. Backward Cities, Or Younger Cities, Or Newly Forming Cities In Supply Regions, Have To Develop To A Great Extent On One Another's Shoulders. This Is One Of The Terrible Things About Empires. Empires Want Them Only To Trade With The Empire, Which Doesn't Help Them At All. It's Just A Way Of Exploiting Them.
