The Borgias also got bad press in their own day which ought to be indicate something about the general climate.
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

So we are still looking for a better system. Monarchies are not reliable. They indulged in incest, and many of them were basically nuts. They were autocrats who you couldn't get rid of without either killing them or waiting until the died of old age. Sorry, but that is just unreliable. It's actually fortunate for them that the state evolved or they would have inbred themselves into total idiocy, insanity and massive birth defects.

How can you discuss the present unless you discuss that which led to it? The current state evolved from other economic models, all of which were eventually cast off when they failed to benefit the people. The minarchism that you support, was cast off even before the advent of monarchies. The fly in your ointment is human behavior. People are not content with a purely agricultural and hunting society, so we gather together to support different skills and abilities. In doing so, our interpersonal dynamics change, requiring more structure, rules and laws to avoid bloodshed. The larger the population, the more complicated the structure and laws become because of the increased need for roads and services and the increased access of the wolf to the lambs. Contracting separately for every service or voting individually for infrastructure improvement is either administratively inefficient thus more expensive or otherwise involves the dynamics of a direct democracy, which will often end up in an impasse even in a small population. In a large population, it would be unworkable because it's either just too complicated for many people or you would have too many different agendas to choose from. Government distills needs into necessities and nice to haves but it's not without its drawbacks. Still, as bad as it is, what you wish for would be worse.

Unique? No. Ordinary? Hardly. That's why you know who they are. Anyway, like I said, monarchs simply did not execute many people and wars were not engaged in for profit. Wars are extremely expensive and could lead to ruin. Wars for profit are far more characteristic of your own age than that of European monarchs.
