Interview with Tom DiLorenzo. Anonymity of association is a central pillar of liberty, and protects liberty far more effectively than any politician ever could. This is why the Political Class hates it, and why they want the public to believe that only child predators and terrorists would ever desire it.
In the interview, Tom delves into the central banking implications for a cashless society. A cashless society is far easier to engineer by that financial Leviathan called the Federal Reserve, meaning the economy becomes far easier to manipulate in the short run for the Political Class themselves.
