What the hell’s a technocrat?
What the hell’s a technocrat?

Technocrat: An expert in some technology, especially one in a managerial or administrative role.
How is that any different the legions of ass-covering bureaucrats that litter the administrative landscapes from Beijing to Bombay to Brussels? I am no more hopeful that Europe will pull its fat from the fire today, now that the technocrats are in charge in Rome and Athens.
The problems we face today built up over generations and won’t be solved by a knight in shining armor. There are no magic bullets and removing Berlusconi and Papandreou from the seen changes the debate at the margin but the problems will not be solved at the margin.
