I mean, if we're being fair, compare the domain of ICANN to the most-regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, drugs, education and housing... There is no question where prosperity and liberty are winning, and where corruption, inequity and insufficient supply/quality are dominating.

Collusion between private and public governance. Mostly private, good luck finding public housing. Even military in the US is mostly private. Show me anything that is public. The only thing that comes to mind is roads (even there construction is private) and to lesser extent, municipal services like water and waste (also private contractors but controlled).
