Globalization of wealth is a result of treaties between sovereign nations.

But if so much wealth is hidden and not tied to each nation's fate, those with the most power and influence lose the connection to their compatriots.

This has led to the brittleness of the current international order. Since the fall of the USSR, national treaties no longer bottom out at the self-interest of each countries' residents. We are trusting a legal framework that has had its foundation severely degraded over the past 30 years.
