摘要

Rattle any industry that spins off billions of dollars of profits or employs millions of people and its entrenched beneficiaries are sure to cry foul. Chambers of commerce still vilify discount chains such as Wal-Mart for crushing community-based business. Teachers' unions rail against school-choice programs in the name of protecting "the children." Software vendors shriek that open-source upstarts undermine innovation and national security. Rein in the change agents now, the establishment always insists, or society will pay a year or two or five down the road.
