The "state" also has access to FAR more assets than any single company ever will. The "state" can very easily define what IS the economy itself unlike a business which is dependent on whatever the economic architecture of the "state" is.

The reason why a lot of shit is invented by the "state" is because they can very easily justify doing whatever they want either via big budgets or big guns. Various "states" have chosen various justification routes in history.
