This book delves into the creation, corruption, and potential redemption of money. It examines how the current monetary system is broken and how Bitcoin is redeeming its ills. The authors, from a Christian perspective, discuss how the inherent corruption in the fiat currency system leads to inequality and moral decay, and how Bitcoin's decentralized, transparent, and immutable nature aligns with biblical principles of honesty, integrity, and fairness. The book argues that Bitcoin's design promotes a more equitable financial system and offers hope for a broken world[1][3][5].
In this book, Hoppe presents a detailed analysis of socialism and capitalism, arguing that socialism is inherently flawed due to its inability to solve the problem of economic calculation and its disregard for private property rights. He defends capitalism as the only viable economic system that respects individual rights and promotes efficient resource allocation. The book is grounded in the principles of praxeology and the Austrian School of economics, emphasizing the importance of property rights, scarcity, and human action in understanding economic and social phenomena.
Larry Sidentop's "Inventing the Individual" challenges conventional narratives about the Enlightenment, arguing that the concept of the individual is deeply rooted in Christian thought and practice. The book traces the development of individualism from antiquity through the Middle Ages, highlighting the crucial role of canon lawyers and their interpretation of natural law. Sidentop demonstrates how the Christian emphasis on the inherent dignity and worth of each person, regardless of social status, laid the groundwork for modern conceptions of individual rights and freedoms. He counters the common misconception of a secular classical world, revealing the pervasive influence of religious beliefs and practices. Ultimately, the book offers a compelling revisionist history, showing how the seemingly secular values of the Enlightenment are profoundly indebted to the Christian tradition.
This book delves into the history and operations of the Federal Reserve, exposing what the author believes are its secretive and manipulative practices. Griffin argues that the Federal Reserve, despite its name, is not a government entity but a cartel of bankers who have significant control over the U.S. monetary system. The book details the clandestine meeting on Jekyll Island where the plans for the Federal Reserve were formulated and how this system has led to economic instability, wars, and other societal issues. Written in an accessible style, the book aims to educate readers about the inner workings of the financial system and the potential dangers of fiat currency and central banking[1][4][5].
The book explores the greatest economic and political transition in centuries, predicting the shift from an industrial to an information-based society. Davidson and Rees-Mogg argue that this transition will liberate individuals, alter the power of government, and lead to the rise of digital currency and cyberspace. They foresee a future where individuals will be freed from government oppression and prejudice, and where states will struggle to collect taxes due to the ease of transferring assets electronically. The authors also discuss the potential for prosperity and renewal in the face of radical changes in human history as we move into the new millennium[1][2][4].
No one wants to hear that the money they save today will be worthless tomorrow, and yet no one can deny that inflation is hitting everyone at the grocery store. What does this all mean and what can you do about it? You’re living through a recession that the government can’t seem to agree on or admit to whether you like it or not.
Robert Breedlove hosts the podcast, ‘What Is Money?’ has joined Tom a few times and broken down the complexities of money, inflation, and property rights. He’s a freedom maximalist, and bitcoin philosopher that offers food for thought that can melt your brain. His breakdown of inflation being a version of legal theft should grab your attention as it’s hard to ignore once you hear his explanation.
We’re digging into key ideas such as:
The money crisis
How bitcoin is impacting future creation of wealth
How you can better thrive during this financial crisis
It always comes down to decision and how you choose to move through reality as
it is not how you wish it were.
