Why use today what was invented for a political-economic reality of 500 years ago? Monetizing assets was devised for continent without the nation-state: Europe. There by force wealth was confiscated. People who owned wealth could be extirpated of that wealth by the king. His wealth was taken for finance wars. For such an environment monetizing assets was a need to move away from the king who was using the peasants' money to build another castle or fight a new war or pay his wiegth in gold as a ransom. In WEurope one could not create wealth. As soon as it became visible it was taken away. Thus monetizing wealth was needed to hide it. The Europeans when tried to do this to Americans, i.e., trying to ron of their wealth got a noot in their asses. All countries independences were amde to avoid Europeans robbery. In Brazil robbery was imported from Portugal and people needed to take their oney away from the country's government voracious appetite to take outr wealth. Finally we are throwing over board the Portuguese legacy and creating an economic environment where wealth can be distriubuted and not hogged by a few.
