News Date: September 3, 2020

Our monies - represent fiat currencies, monopolized by the state.
Fiat money is economically and socially destructive - with far-reaching and seriously harmful economic and societal consequences, effects that extend beyond what most people would imagine.
A free market in money means that people have the freedom to choose the kind of money they wish to use and that people have the freedom to provide their fellow men with alternative goods that may serve them well as money.
