Make money non-fiat again buy backing it with a government
clam bank. Unlike gold which goes up and down in fits and
starts. clam backed dollars would be tied to the value of a
food, whose price typically rises to match inflation. this
secondary benefit means that inflation would never affect
your moneys purchasing power.

If there's a large enough meltdown they will be the first to be burnt through. |

also all of the banks could then be underwater thus
making them harder to steal from. |
