>The problem is that this would have be to incorporated worldwide wise. Otherwise will capital first run to different cheaper state or different (tax paradise) country. I'm also not sure if alone would solve the problem.

For the US specifically I disagree. The massive size of the US consumer market puts so much power in the hands of the government, that they are currently not using. Probably due to lobbying from corporations that try to prevent just that.

Agree on overproduction. This could also be handled by government subsidies or straight up government investment. Eg. solar and wind investment doesn't have a good ROI anymore for private companies. Maybe the state should be the provider of energy, so we can get very cheap and sustainable power.
