Money.

Once a nation is controlled by money, and the people with the most money get to decide where the world goes we’re all held at ransom to their ideas.

What your asking would probably take generations to happen, so even if we lucked into a trillionare who can actually get stuff done and has a drive and motives, who’s to say his heir will be of the same mind?

Can’t have that advanced shit until we live in a world where money no longer has value.
