I can't make any sense of your perspective. Policies very much are made by a generation; they are very much not made by politicians. Look at the discussion of drinking -- politicians have decided that no one shall drink before the age of 21, the masses have decided something different, and the masses are having things 100% their own way. The society reflects what the populace wants.

Of course there's never been a meeting. The generation doesn't meet. But it does decide policy. Who meets to set the price of copper?
