The principle in which institutions, or any organization, will try to preserve the problem to which they are supposed to be the solution.
(In reference to Author Clay
Shirky (born
1964), an American writer,
consultant and teacher on the social and economic effects of Internet technologies and journalism.)
The IRS is a Shirky Principle organization. It will never attempt to totally get rid of
tax evasion, even if it could, because
the IRS needs to be maintained for reasons to find tax evasion.
