Why is the government the only entity that can or should provide banking or stimulus?

People could decide privately on banking regulation, but then it's quite close to a meaningless distinction between government and people as both would effectively coerce holdouts.

For stimulus the current sizes are just beyond any other organization. Could perhaps be some distributed system, but then why would it be better than delegation?
