Actually, it _does_.
Strong crypto is the means by which those of who have money and
talent will keep our money away from the billions of Third World
Mutants who seek to glom onto it.
There is basically no way that Zimbabwe or Chechnya or Bangla Desh or
Romania is ever going to catch up to the West. The challenge is to
make sure that they "die the good death" without contaminating us.
