Governments can bring instability too, if they overregulate. If they fix prices in a way that prevents a legitimate market and a realistic price then the effect is to suppress open business and instability occurs. Even just plain taxes can bankrupt a country and misdirect business in ways that waste its productive capacity.
All the things that people expect to help can do the opposite, just a simple minimum wage can cause job losses not the hoped for higher wages. Force is a bad way to implement anything, if you could only eat your dinner with a pickaxe and hammer you would often go hungry
Government is a blunt instrument, its best played lightly and should always avoid swamping the little start ups with endless red tape and demands.

Why? Because they own a money-printer and it goes BRRRRR anytime they want to, to bail out their buddies in the legacy banking and financial system. They also use the money-printer to increase government spending, which is inflationary. Plus the effects of money-printing, which causes inflation, is like a tax because printed money is used to fund the government at the expense of the currency to devalue.
