[Avodah] What would a Torah government look like

[Rich, Joel]

To my mind one of the greatest challenges to a Torah government would be
modern day commerce

A simple example  one makes an electronic reservation by computer for a
hotel room or plane flight and holds it with a credit card. When one
arrives they refuse to honor their commitment.
Upon screaming they answer that according to halacha a promise to do
some action is not enforcable and no kinyan was done. Even if one paid
in advance money is not a kinyan.
7 tovei hair doesnt help since one cannot declare a sale without a
kinyan or with a money kinyan.
------------------------------------------

Disagree- iiuc according to many (most?) authorities "true" (that's
another issue) 7 tovei have power of hefker bet din.
