The book "The March of Folly" by Barbara W. Tuchman discusses how certain governing bodies persist in flawed policies due to a lack of intentional dialogue and consultation. The author highlights that decision-makers often fail to reassess their strategies, leading to continued mistakes. This unreflective approach contributes to the perpetuation of ineffective governance.

Tuchman argues that when policymakers do not engage in meaningful discussions or seek diverse perspectives, they become trapped in a cycle of folly. As a result, their inability to adapt or reconsider policies reflects a deeper issue within the governing group's habits and mindset, ultimately resulting in detrimental consequences.
