Capitalism with taxes on negative externalities and government subsidies to pay for public goods.

Great idea except now the parasites have a goal of "take over the institution you've created to determine what has negative and positive externalities". A King naturally wants to subsidize positive externalities and tax negative ones because it maximizes the value of his realm.

The ineptitude and waste of autocrats and monarchs, even after the Industrial Revolution, was way beyond anything seen today. I’m not sure how Wilhelm II’s ineptitude maximised the value of his realm; it was his civilian ministers who had to keep him in check.

>The ineptitude and waste of autocrats and monarchs, was way beyond anything seen today. This is an insane statement to make in this year. Example of the type of insane waste that exists now. At least Wilhelm II was looking to expand his territory.https://twitter.com/RichardHanania/status/1367595090739224577 …
