Thank you Robert for sharing Dr. Mattias Desmet's concepts regarding the importance of speaking truth to the best of our ability and the appreciation of the ethical nature at the core of our being. I would be interested if Dr. Desmet could share his views with regard to the importance of honesty and truth with regard to money and its use in society.

I like the perspective offered by Ludwig von Mises on this topic:

It is impossible to grasp the meaning of the idea of sound money if one does not realize that it was devised as an instrument for the protection of civil liberties against despotic inroads on the part of governments. Ideologically it belongs in the same class with political constitutions and bills of rights.

From p. 30:

Is it possible to make use of fiat currency and still "speak" truth?
