[QUOTE="Seth_Rose, post: 1185152, member: 4966"] Agreed. Currently reading Skin in the Game by Nassim Taleb. He points this out, noting that politicians and political parties are just interested in keeping their hold on power. They'll do whatever it takes to get votes, instead of solving long-term problems. Monarchs on the other hand have a vested interest in keeping their lands safe and prosperous. It's their kingdom--their property. They'll pass it down to their children and therefore have a vested interest in keeping their subjects happy. [/QUOTE]
