The dog-in-the-manger policies are policies meant to prevent
people from benefiting from that which government officials and the anointed* are
not able to, for instance: When Romania acquired new territories during World
War 1, they gained German and Hungarian universities with it and their
immediate intentions were to make the student body completely Romanian.
This caused Hungarian students to leave the new Romanian
country for Hungarian universities, but the government strictly forbid this,
closing them off from a higher education while about three quarters of
Romanians were illiterate.
Romania is certainly not the only one to make political
decisions based on personal desires that tear down a good thing for a one-sided
okay thing as the Chinese did in their affirmative action policies or as liberals
do with taxes.
