“Before world war 1 no body took Marx seriously, he was just another European weirdo who wrote weird things” @npub1gdu7w6l6w… BARS. Economic fiction and alternate reality with hard money during the 20th century? Can’t wait to get my hands on this one.

Saifedean introduces his next book, The Gold Standard: an alternative economic history of the twentieth century, where fiat money died in 1915. What would the world look like if we had a gold standard in the twentieth century? What would life be like with constantly appreciating money and declining prices? What would have happened if governments could not have financed themselves with inflation in the last century without accountability? How would living standards and wages have changed?

100 I almost stopped listening in the beginning when I heard where she’s from. To me, that colony has been systematically stealing our land and slaughtering us for damn near a century. Soon as started speaking, I realized she too is a victim of the same evil forces. It’s wild that I have more in common with her than I do with most of my own people. Nation states and nationalism truly is a disease on man kind.

In an another life, Erfat and I would have been good friends. Glad I didn’t stop listening.
