Reply to comment by Eyeless_Sid in Access to modern military technology substantially reduces the probability of democratisation of authoritarian regimes — New details about the spread of 29 ground-breaking military technologies in all independent states from 1820 to 2010, as well as the form of government in these states by marketrent

I operate under the assumption that the government always wants two things: money and power. There may be individuals within the government that seek to limit this, of course, but as an entity the government always seeks money for the purposes of extending power and control. Very similar to corporations.
