This book blew my mind; it is a work of genius. It put together the technical, economic, motivational and related issues around Bitcoin better than anything I've seen.

It’s a really accessible intro to economics for people, and seems like a great one to recommend.

Eye-opening, educational, and ultimately hopeful. A powerful reminder that the money we use shapes the world we live in.

There’s a book that explains all of this that’s amazing. It’s called the Fiat Standard by @saifedean It’s worth every penny.

What makes the book particularly compelling is Ammous’s ability to connect core economic principles with long-term foresight. He doesn’t merely critique the present system; he constructs a coherent vision of a world we might already be living in – and enjoying – had sound money prevailed.

Just started reading Principles of Economics. It’s hard to put down. It has clarified many economic concepts that I struggled to grasp before. Thank you.

It is essential reading for anyone interested in learning the role Bitcoin could play in a future regime of free and sound money.

Listening to The Fiat Standard right now and I must say, I regret putting this one off as long as I did.

I've been following free market economics for a long time, but this book is hands down the clearest, most comprehensive treatment of the subject I've ever read. I want to highlight half the sentences in the book. Outstanding.

Saifedean Ammous uses the gold standard as a lens to explore how monetary systems shape societies over long stretches of history.

Whether you are a bitcoin guru or completely against it - this book gives a wonderful tale of the histories of unsound money & centralized banking.

If you want to unscramble your brains and stop doing mental gymnastics to navigate macroeconomics, then Principles of Economics is your one stop shop!
