The quiet crimes of fiat don’t arrive with sirens.

They arrive with memos, meetings, and adjusted expectations.

In the last year, nothing “collapsed.”

And that’s the crime.

Inflation didn’t explode — it settled in.

Not as a headline, but as a permanent tax on attention, time, and dignity.

Wages moved sideways while costs ratcheted upward.

Savings accounts became moral hazards.

Risk was rebranded as “participation.”

Governments didn’t default — they extended.

Corporations didn’t fail — they restructured.

Banks didn’t lie — they reframed.

Every problem was “temporary,”

every intervention “necessary,”

every consequence “unexpected.”

But the pattern was consistent:

More currency, less truth

More leverage, less accountability

More optimism, fewer exits

Asset prices were protected.

Labor absorbed the variance.

The meeting rooms stayed warm.

The balance sheets stayed abstract.

The losses were socialized quietly, efficiently, politely.

No one went to jail.

No one resigned in disgrace.

No one admitted error.

Instead, we were told to:

Spend faster

Save less

Trust harder

And when trust failed, we were told it was our fault for not understanding the system.

That’s the real damage of fiat in the last year:

Not volatility — moral erosion.

When money can be created without consequence,

promises become optional.

When losses can be deferred indefinitely,

truth becomes negotiable.

And when the cost of failure is invisible,

failure becomes policy.

Nothing broke loudly.

Everything weakened silently.

And that’s how fiat always commits its crimes:

Not with chaos —

but with paperwork.
