Antoine Destutt de Tracy on Money - Dictionary of Arguments
Rothbard II 6 Money/de Tracy/Rothbard: On money, de Tracy took a firm hard-money position. He lamented that the names of coins are no longer simple units of weight of gold or silver. Debasement of coins he saw clearly as theft, and paper money as theft on a grand scale. Paper money, indeed, is simply a gradual and hidden series of successive debasements of the money standard. The destructive effects of inflation were analysed, and privileged monopoly banks were attacked as ‘radically vicious’ institutions. >Economics/de Tracy._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
