Unpopular take: monarchs have better incentive alignment than democracies.
Why?
Their legacy is their children's inheritance.
They think in generations, not election cycles.
Our democracy has leaders...
I don’t think that there are any democratic countries. I think that this quote is true:
The people who control and issue the nation’s money, are the leaders of the country.
Having said that, I think it’s easier for people, who live in monarchies, to blame somebody when things are not going well.
When it comes to people living in all these countries that are LARPing as democratic countries, it’s hard for them to decide who to blame when things are going badly.
“Is it the prime minister’s fault? Or is it his predecessor we should blame?“
They don’t understand that democracy is just an illusion.
