Centralization is achieved by suppression of local parasitism and rents, and levying taxation instead, that is used for that suppression. This drastically reduces transaction costs and associated risks, which in turn produces volume and velocity. The problem of taxation arises when it is not used for the purpose of suppressing local parasitism and rents and instead simply centralizes parasitism and rents.

A world without truth is only a postmodern dream until the aristocracy (market meritocracy) is eradicated and we are once again reduced to authoritarian monopoly, and the poverty that ensues. And power is held by people who exploit the poor, rather than those who eliminate poverty but cannot eliminate voluntary reproduction beyond one’s means.
