(1993) The necessity of friction, Heidelberg, Physica.

Let us now praise dragging feet!

Ottar Brox

pp. 123-134

More often we produce unanticipated problems and slowly developing catastrophies because we are too clever in eliminating sand in the machinery, like "red tape", or the "traditional attitudes' or "petty vested interests' of others.
