A cost-benefit analysis of building the kind of monuments we are talking
about could be interesting.
And of course you would presumably wish to compare it to today's immediate
requirements for hospitals, schools etc.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but when I hear people talking about
how much 'better' money would be spent building motorways, car parks and so
on, than on anything which might be considered 'cultural', then I fear they
have missed something somewhere.
