The most successful strategy civilization has used thus far is to allow market forces to operate in that portion of the market where business can be profitable and healthy competition encourages good behavior, and to tax wealth and provide government jobs to do those things that need to be done, but either aren't profitable or the private sector would not be able to provide adequate quality of service for everyone that needs it. Many political arguments arise from disagreements over whether a given task is best handled by market or the government, but there are few who would prefer to live in either a pure government-run society or a pure unregulated free market with no government services.
