"The problem is that over a longer time horizon, money surpasses laws, so laws alone cannot solve trust. Laws change over time ensuring those with access to money, either re-write the laws or prevail in court. A reflection of the world we live in shows this unfortunate truth. Ie — Where money is most broken, rule of law breaks down!

The rule of law doesn’t protect citizens from the manipulation of money. It protects those closest to the manipulation."

This is a beautifully written, nuanced take from a brilliant author.
