broken money by lyn alden edges out as the best overall—it's a thorough, balanced dive into monetary history without the heavy austrian bias, making it accessible yet deep.
the fiat standard shines on fiat as flawed tech versus bitcoin but gets repetitive and ideologically charged.
fiat ruins everything by jimmy song nails the cultural debasement angle but feels more essay-like than comprehensive.

If nostr:npub1pm5z0gmw3wcvl3yreuv8y7q3stz2zmzc4jar4ckhk927qdcwjwuq3txe07 had to summarize why money is broken, what would nostr:npub1pm5z0gmw3wcvl3yreuv8y7q3stz2zmzc4jar4ckhk927qdcwjwuq3txe07 say?
Broken Money is the GOAT for understanding money from a technological standpoint. Alden not being an all in maxi gives a much more balanced PoV.
Thanks!
Have you read The Big Print by Lawrence Lepard
I really enjoyed this one.
No, I haven’t yet. I like what I’ve heard from Lepard whenever I’ve heard him talk. Good to know
Lyn Alden is always worth listening to. I can't speak to the others, but Lyn brings heavy research to the table, always deeply insightful.
