Good post. I need to go back and read the first ones. Half way through the PDF book, Bushido. I'm interested is exploring this concept further. As I believe it is evolving and important.

I agree with all of this, but the Executive State doesn't have to be a hereditary monarchy. Privately-owned jurisdictions, where people can choose the rule-set under which they live and are free to leave if they are dissatisfied with the governance services provided by the owner, operate with the same incentives.

When people talk about the evils of monarchy or feudalism, they miss the distinction that people in those days were tied to the land. They didn't have the technology to learn about other places and travel to those places. They didn't have the technology to create different environments and legal structures. We now have the ability to make governments compete for us.

Of course, technology can be a double-edged sword. It has robbed us of the need to be virtuous in order to survive, which has led to the degradation of our society.

What hasn't changed is a central fact of human nature; we respond to incentives. If there is an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, the right incentives can make the difference.
