Avid mate, governments who engage into mindless spending, often times on the back of senseless wars, will spiral ANYTHING out of control... nothing to do with fiat currencies... its gotta do with not electing total morons in the first placeQuote from Avid_Consumer:
2cents, i know you're from inside the system, yet you never take your monetary system arguments even an inch past name calling
governments can't maintain the value of fiat currencies and they eventually spiral out of control. nothing special about it, it's just the way it is. nobody wants to roll back economic progress, just to return to a monetary system that doesn't reward wealthy people at the expense of everyone else while facilitating irresponsible govt spending.
and thats your job... got it?
now save yrself some time, use Rothbard's economics tomes as toilet paper where they belong, also to wipe the shit off your eyes, and then perhaps we can talk...
and thats cause i like u...

has everything to do with fiat currencies. the ones that create the money out of thin air, pull the strings in the background to get the senseless wars. now bugger off, mate.

and of course absent fiat currencies there would be no senseless wars, right matey?
they have to be financed, do they not? regardless, the ones that finance the wars have the most to gain. when you control the world's media.... you can lie to start the wars you call senseless. i would use stronger terms than "senseless" to describe these wars.

i don't read rothbard, i'm just a pedestrian observer forming my own conclusions, and i'm glad we're friends - it's not personal
it will be interesting to look back on these posts in a few years time after the system has run a likely historical course. would be preferable to avert that outcome entirely
at least we agree that governments engage in unsustainable spending on the back of causes like perpetual war. fiat inflation though, is taxation without representation. there is virtually no leader we can elect who will respect that.
