We’ll never eliminate corruption but its damage and prevalence can be attenuated by decentralization. Whenever an entity becomes a centralized authority the power is intoxicating. Centralized authority by its very nature creates a single point of failure. We’re always told bigger is better. Not true in every case. Too big to fail means too powerful to control. Too powerful to control means it’s above the law. The bigger they are the harder we fall. Everything needs to be splintered into small competing entities. Then when the inevitable failure happens the damage is a blip that can be absorbed by the others and the failed entity can either go quietly into the good night or face consequences. Centralization always works against us.
