Key Notes
The Rousseau passage treats population growth as the surest sign that a political association preserves and prospers its members.
Iran is described as a dual system split between religious clerical authority and the secular government.
In Jiang's ranking, parents matter because they pay and can create trouble; teachers matter because they implement the rules; government and colleges often care only that the school produces no problems or paying students.

He argues that the same bureaucratic pattern appears beyond universities: Canada, US government, regulation, and the military all show management growth over real work.
