My problems with this text:

it equates state and business, they are not the same and business should not be treated as a viable substitute for a state.
it make it look like all places have the same set of problems when it's more like same places have same of the problems and probably nowhere have all of them.

In an ideal world...

We don't live in an ideal world.
