It’s weird to me that apparently so many people think about the Roman Empire so often, but so little people know that the reason #Rome fell is because of #inflation. I guess it shows how little known it is that expansion of the money supply destroys society.

Could you recommend any books about the Roman Empire from a financial perspective?

The most interesting I've heard is Michael Saylor talking about it on his what is money series with Breedlove.

I have to admit, it has been a while since I’ve formed this opinions, so I might miss some things. I think two books that impacted my views on this are “The Sovereign Individual” and “The Fourth Turning”. And undoubtedly, “The Bitcoin Standard” helped me understand money’s role in history.

I read those in close succession, and I also have listened to hundreds of hours of nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z ‘s BTC Fundamentals episodes that come out every Wednesday on The Investor’s Podcast.
