Yeah let’s barter instead of using currency. And let’s also live in caves and eat raw bison.
No medium of exchange=no modern economy. Try running a semiconductor factory while paying your engineers in butter and your vendors in salt.
That isn’t my point.
Shut the factory. Galt is the topic of the thread.
Empires were built on gold currency. Paper fiat money is a relatively new phenomenon. If I had to choose between “convenience” and freedom I choose freedom. Because tyranny is never convenient.
