Collectivism vs Individualism, The Issue Behind All Issues - by G. Edward Griffin

G. Edward Griffin is the author of the famous book “The Creature From Jekyll Island”.
It’s a history about central bank control and corruption going all the back to the the 1500’s all the way up to the Banking Collapse in 2008. Because history rhymes, the book is completely relevant today.

When you consider that Satoshi created Bitcoin as a response to the 2008 banking collapse we might consider that one of the greatest responsibilities of Cardano governance is to protect the Cardano community from central bank influence, corruption, and eventual collapse.

G. Edward Griffin is now in his 90’s and has had a lifetime to study central bank corruption on humanity. He has condensed his understanding of what this corruption actually is and how humans can protect themselves from it into a single principle: Individualism over Collectivism. This principle is what underlies Cardano’s core principle of Decentralization over Centralization. It’s the most basic idea on which decentralization stands. It’s why it matters. Decentralization is what enforces Individualism. Decentralization is the “how”. Individualism is the “why”.

For these reasons, I think the ideas in Griffin’s work should be included in the Cardano constitution.
