Bow-wow would be an increase in sensibility from most gold buggers.

Without convertability to a hard standard -- gold, silver, platinum, palladium -- fiat money is a form of slavery no different from scrip paid mine workers only redeemable in the "company" store. No different -- with one allowance to mimic the effect of a central authority's fiat money arbitrary expansion or removal of currency we have the arbitrary setting of prices by the mine owner in the "company" store. (I put company in quotes, for to call such an enterprise a company is a misnomer. A company implies companions in enterprise. However in both the fiat money and "company" store model the relation is not one between companions -- that's a possible but less-than-stable condition, more likely it degrades into owner-slave, or elite-indentured.)
