The inherent weakness of any and every society is always going to be the government. As the entity with the monopoly on force, the corruption and influence on government from interest groups will necessarily be the weak point in the system. It's incredibly hard to generate the political will of many people who will slightly be hurt by something against the will of the few who will be significantly hurt even if the aggregate damage is far greater for the many than the few. Almost all legislation follows this sort of calculus: zoning laws, tariffs, minimum wage, etc.
