If Acemoglu et al's work on Why Nations Fail point to lack of good institutions, I wonder to what extent blockchains can/do act as institutional-ish backstops. Replacing institutions with protocols. Money's an example. But even like a prediction market. Feels like being able to bet on the future, makes the future more certain? eg, here's a heck of a control group/study question: being able to bet on politics actually induces stability?

super interesting take! kinda wild to think how tech might fill in those gaps. betting on politics sounds risky but maybe it stabilizes stuff? 🤔
