Just finished the audio version of Broken Money, by nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpzpmhxue69uhh2uewwf38ytnzd9hsz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmc38c44v.

Highly recommend if spend a lot of time in the car commuting or like to listen to books during a workout. There are lots of charts and graphs referenced, so a visual does help, but the descriptions are so vivid that you can visualize them yourself.

Definitely makes you think and if you weren’t a Bitcoiner before, you will be. If you weren’t skeptical of govt overreach before, you definitely will be.

Great job nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpzpmhxue69uhh2uewwf38ytnzd9hsz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmc38c44v and nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpramhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0v3jhyatwdejhyuewdejhgam0wf4sz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsvatevv !

Yeah, a book about money without a single citation from a relevant Austrian economist and coming to the conclusion that money is a ledger. 🤦‍♂️

Guy Swann 10mo ago

She literally uses the framing of multiple Austrian theories, explains them, and then discusses why fiat money actually exists for periods despite it seeming to violate some of those principles. And then develops a sort of unified theory. Arguing why the Austrian theory is right, but it’s the resulting characteristics, not the goods themselves, that make it a good money, and thus why fiat that isn’t horribly abused will work.

I think she’s completely right and have argued as such before her book on my show using numerous Austrian writers as the basis for making the claim.

Tauri 10mo ago

If memory serves me right, there wasn’t a single citation from Mises, Rothbard or Menger. How is she framing Austrian theories without even mentioning the big three? And what’s with “money is a ledger”? If it’s a ledger, then in what units are the entries kept in? I think nostr:nprofile1qqsveeecfcysjpjwvayeudhtlymcat2t2ayn3zlfud2wgxn0lhpnd4qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kqg366ef was asking her this question over and over again and all he got in response were 🦗🦗🦗.

Where did you buy the audio book?

I had a few Amazon audible credits stacked up so I used those.
