Ancient Athens.  Choose some offices, at random, from the electorate.  Like juries, but without right of refusal by protagonist/antagonist.

This wouldn't be the first time a nation has found that efforts to jack the economy hit social problems.  In recent times, it was going to be Germany to take over, Japan to take over, even Ireland.  But reality is cruel...  They all lacked the basic economy to support serious short term growth.
