(2011b) The Separation Between Money And State: Dissolving Government Power Through Market Means

Texto enviado para o 2nd Atlas Sound Money Contest. Basicamente uma expansão do texto enviado para o ECAEF.

Abstract:  Our task in this article is threefold: first, we shall briefly try to explain what money is, how it spontaneously emerges through social cooperation and how the absence of sound money precludes peaceful social cooperation and a modern production structure as we know it. Then, we shall point out some of the effects of government meddling with money (and how this meddling came about), briefly sketching the trade-cycle theory. Finally, after a brief historical prelude about the recent attacks on monetary freedom, we shall discuss the main guidelines necessary to overcome this undesired scenario, what includes a stance in favor of the total separation between government and money (and markets in general).
