The primary motivator for people is money. Government attempts to regulate all aspects of behavior, but it cannot effectively control or monitor the exchange of money. The most obvious symptoms of this are usually called corruption. It is less obvious (but still obvious to me) that corruption is just the tip of the iceberg. The problem is structural. Government cannot be effective because it is superceded or corrupted by the real motivator.
The solution is a high tech type of money that is integrated with government.
That makes sense, but is also a nightmare IMO. The lack of oversight of money means that you cannot be totally barred from participating in the economic system by the goverement.
If the government had even more control over money, they could arbitrarily blacklist people from having access to currency. While this sounds like a good tool to use against criminals, recall that, in America at least, there exist things such as the no fly list [0], which impacts people's rights without due process.
The way governments actually work in practice these days, yes, it would be a nightmare.
But the problem with the relationship between money and government is so significant, a real solution would require dramatic changes all around. So that would mean that government could not be anything like it is today.
