Why cant we? There is lot if ineffeciency and theatre being rewarded in the current economy. Lot of stuff is being locally over optimized at the cost of global instability. What is stable about the world economy parking 50% of wealth in the US which has less than 5% of the land or the population of the planet. More people have info more people are going to question it. We have been coasting for very long pretending all this stable.

The Samurai thought they were producing stability too. Overnight they went extinct. Japan did not. Its a lesson in assuming certain organizing and stabilizing structures are permanent.

How can they be when the environment around such legacy structures is constantly changing and these days changing faster than the Shoganate can adapt. The story writes itself.
