MIT famously established that democracy = rule by mega donors aka oligarchy. And now that a lot of capital is almost completely mobile, there’s nothing tying most of the ruling oligarchs to any nation. The best you can hope for are physical commodities oligarchs who are at least anchored to and dependent on certain geographic regions (and, by extension, some of the people who live there).
