And required no government. Perhaps people would be more self sufficient. The potential for wealth could be much greater. However everything, and much more so than our capitalism/government system would be based on finances and more short term value, notNecessarily public safety. We would still have generous benefactors donating to cause. But we would have no one to monitor safety with our foods or environment. Those less fortunate would have no public roads or other infrastructure to help give them economic advantage. Companies would be much less concerned about safety with no regulation involved.

It’s a very interesting thought experiment.

I imagine heaven will require very little government. And hell must be a bureaucratic environment maybe purely based on an ineffective government with high taxes and no value.

But regardless, in this life, a country our size and Expected to be competitive in the world requires government intervention unfortunately.
