Of the three systems of government enunciated by Aristotle - monarchy (tyranny), aristocracy (oligarchy), and polity (democracy) - polity (democracy) is the best, not because of its inherent virtue, but because of its basic lack of efficiency. An inefficient government is best for the people, simply because it is inherently incapable of doing anything well, and the less it does the better.
