The motivation of a business is that of the business owner(s). For the most part their end goal is to make money but sometimes it is not (i.e. NGOs). Similarly the motivation of a government is that of those who form them. According to Thomas Hobbes' Social Contract Theory the incentive for forming a government is to avoid anarchy. Having a functioning government is a prerequisite for an environment conducive to creation of vibrant businesses and economic growth (see Somalia). To put it simply the incentive is to maintain public order and safety so that I don't burn down your business because your competitor paid me to.


p.s. SS33, don't think I wouldn't burn down your pizzeria if Papa John's paid me to
