I think it's made it better. One of the things I saw recently when I was in India was government changing the currency. It withdrew all the 5,000 rupee notes—I think it was—which were relatively high denomination notes. The idea was that people were hiding this money and not paying taxes. Whether this should have been done was a matter of much debate, but I heard many people talk about it.
It would be like, in Canada, removing the $100 bill from circulation. Some people would say it's disruptive. Others would say it would help to control crime because the drug traffickers tend to use them. In fact, we removed the $1,000 bill exist, for precisely that reason; it was being used in crime a lot.
Just from the conversations I had with people there, the middle class tended to support this measure because they thought it would help deal with tax evasion and crime. The poorer people didn't like it all, because they weren't used to dealing with banks. For them, it was a big inconvenience.
I think this kind of demographic shift is helping shift attitudes.
