I think here, more than the issue of dependency is the issue of liquidity. The States lends liquidity to many developing or under developed nations, if that liquidity stops how will those nations work. Ofcourse, now we have decentralized ecosystems like bitcoin and Hive in place but are we mature enough to stick out nose into the big corporates and governments...
If it doesn't stop, they will forever remain economic slaves.
That is true too...
