I believe that Dafoe in Robinson Crusoe believed that the best governors are the ones who work hard and follow honest practices when managing subjects.

This may not have been his thinking when he got stranded on the island initially since he was a slave-owner in Brazil but with time and reflection and his relation with his slave Friday I believe he came around to this idea.
