Accelerators

Brakes

You can drive a car with good brakes much faster than a car with terrible brakes.

When cells replicate unchecked, they become cancer.

When cell growth is regulated, the host is cancer-free.

When the rule of law is weak, those who are beyond law’s reach are free to enrich themselves.

When laws are created and enforced fairly, corruption is minimized, innovation thrives, and businesses can prosper.
