A businessman’s success depends on his intelligence, his knowledge, his productive ability … A bureaucrat’s success depends on his political pull.

A businessman’s success depends on his intelligence, his knowledge,
his productive ability, his economic judgment—and on the voluntary
agreement of all those he deals with: his customers, his suppliers, his
employees, his creditors or investors. A bureaucrat’s success depends
on his political pull. A businessman cannot force you to buy his product;
if he makes a mistake, he suffers the consequence
