For those who REALLY want to deep-dive into Rothbard's economic thoughts, his 932 page ECONOMIC CONTROVERSIES will be akin to slogging through all three volumes of THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

Another must read Rothbard book for those that want a less intense - but nevertheless (his) illuminating "thought" is his EGALITARIANISM AS A REVOLT AGAINST NATURE (and Other Essays).

Other Rothbard books available at www.mises.org (Ludwig Von Mises Institute, Auburn, Alabama.)

include: America's Great Depression; The Case Against the Fed; The Case for a 100 Percent Gold Dollar; (4 volumes); Education: Free and Compulsory; The Ethics of Liberty; The History of Economic Thought ( 2 volumes); The Irrepressible Rothbard; The Logic of Action ( 2 volumes); Ludwig Von Mises: Scholar, Creator, Hero ( It was Von Mises that hooked Rothbard on Austrian Economic Theory- and was his mentor). Making Economic Sense; Man, Economy, and State; and As Dr, Malone mentions: What Has Government Done to Our Money? Can you say, TRASHED IT?

One thing that is certain, "governments" will NEVER let go of CONTROLLING money - NO matter what its form may be - from sea shells, precious metals, FIAT paper "money" - OR DIGITAL.

Know that Richard H. Clarida, Glen H. Hutchins, Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell are among the Regional Directors* of Federal Reserve Banks pushing for DIGITAL "money" to replace the FIAT PAPER dollar the "fed" has had a MONOPOLY to PRINT 24/7/365 since NINETEEN THIRTEEN, that NOW in 2024 AD, has reached the intersection of NEGATIVE NET VALUE..hardly 'worth' a plug nickel.

*Coincidentally, - all are also members of the "COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS".

Once DIGITAL "currency" become "mandatory" - and "international", individual liberty and freedom will become extinct, innovation strangled and economies WILL collapse.

In the USSA, the IRS will rig the new "DIGITAL" system to DIRECTLY collect federal taxes on virtually EVERYTHING that is digitally transacted day and night. Income tax accountants and tax lawyers will also become extinct.

The human race is well on its proverbial way to hell in a "collective" hand-basket .

Correct. Remember initially the US Gov...decried the use of digital currency...until the thieves figured out that if they create digital currency, then they can control it...and then they can control you....every way imaginable and unimaginable. The leftist power hungry deranged people have no limits. They are never satisfied as they have a brain defect.
