"[Denationalization of money is] the one way in which we may still hope to stop the continuous progress of all government toward totalitarianism which already appears to many acute observers as inevitable. But the time is short. What is now urgently required is not the construction of a new system but the prompt removal of all the legal obstacles which have for two thousand years blocked the way for an evolution which is bound to throw up beneficial results which we cannot foresee.“

— Friedrich August von #Hayek, The Argument Refined
