I see no evidence of that.
Once again, the argument isn't that monarchies won't enact bad policies. The argument is that monarchies will tend to enact fewer bad policies than democracies. As for the specific bad policy in question (mass welfare), your claim that the people would have as much political clout to demand welfare in a monarchy as in a democracy is simply wrong, for reasons explained (it is also obviously wrong, on its face). I don't know what else to tell you.It is sufficient to cause monarchies and oligarchies to enact bad economic policies and that is all that matters.
It's not debatable that monarchies were much smaller in terms of taxing/spending:GDP, or that ~0% of that spending went to "social programs."That is debatable.
It's not debatable that monarchies regulated economic activity much less intensively.
I mean who decides that the current monarch must step down.I said by his "rightful" heir.
