I agree with you. I venture this has always been the case with a lot of leaders/kings and governments. The problem we face in the current age is that things have been automated and so much power is vested in a few individuals. A few individuals working for the Energy utility of country or the rail governing body can do massive damage by being corrupt. I really worry Africa will never develop because we have very few individuals making such bad decisions that the whole country gets affected. South Africa is reeling with power cuts because of the decisions of a few individuals[0][1]. Just to make my point clear, a few decades ago (in Africa), we didn't have electricity (quite a lot still don't) we used candles and lamps. Apart from shutting down a candle factory, there wasn't much an individual could do to affect the whole country (other factories can open and candles can be imported). Now we use electricity for lighting and it is provided by one government-owned entity. It makes the head of the entity very powerful giving him/her access to billions and billions of dollars. They also able to screw the whole country up.
