Yes. I wrote about how a Time Machine is the most dangerous weapon, the one you really don’t want your adversary to possess, and your post reminded me of it. Because the reason the monopoly on money printing is so dangerous is the ability to re-arrange the ledger and hence change history.

I look forward to read it. Very soon we will launch a book about something which is closely linked to this, taking as a starting point that civilization scales in layers:

On top of layer One: The rest of civilization

Layer One: The monetary system

Layer Zero: The people's belief system.

It's a short, illustrated book where we demonstrate how different belief systems have been the foundation of different monetary systems, and how different monetary systems shaped society.

That’s interesting — surely the fiat monetary system has deeply affected civilization.

Yes, but not only fiat money. It's the same with debasement of monopolized metal money.
