Governments are rarely subject to the same concepts as budgeting and scarcity as individuals and companies, which is who I was referring to by "the market." Does the government need more money? Print it, and/or steal it from others with threats of violence (taxation). Does the government need more labor? Conscript and/or imprison people. Even representative forms of government are subject to this behavior, as unfortunately the types of people who go into politics are still subject to seeking personal gain and exercising violent whims. Might does not make right, and governments are the ones with more might than anyone.
