I do see the logic in what you are saying, a created societal state of dependence, but not necessary for the good and wellbeing of the people only for the ones who seek to rule. Actually, historically we live in the most successful carnation of feudalism. Enslaved by a ruling class (same blood lines from ancient history), but without the responsibility of the middle ages. Instead of ruling from the throne as in the middle ages they rule by their power to issue debt and to control nations by that debt from a seat at a table (board of directors) barring no responsibility but actually controlling everything.
