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.

Strongly agree with the first part. King is wrong IMO. Crypto/AI much more likely to be viable for that role.

The least you can say for monarchy is that the incentives are aligned. There aren't any national externalities to a King because he owns the realm. If you're going to substitute some kind of crypto enabled replacement you need to replicate that aspect.

How do you solve the King has only one son and he is an idiot/psychopath problem?

Rome had the massive disadvantage of having to figure all of this out without institutions that went through selective filters. Unfortunately by ripping out the previous order we're left in the same situation today.
