Takeaways:

  • People see governments as service providers, so trust is essential for their legitimacy.
  • Governments need to change their financial systems and build trust to restore confidence in their money.
  • Decentralized cryptocurrencies could fix problems with the current money system, but there are still challenges.
  • We need enough money to support growth and trade, but it has to be managed carefully.
  • The financial system needs to be reformed to cut down on corruption and ensure that money serves a purpose, not just an end goal.
