  • Fiat Inflationary Nightmare: How to Reform the Financial System

    Fiat Inflationary Nightmare: How to Reform the Financial System
    Feb 28 2026
    On this episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton appears on Reinvent Money with Paul Buitink for a “state of the system” conversation. Mark breaks down the US economy as an “everything bubble,” explains what’s really behind the trade deficit and the dollar’s reserve status, and grades Trump’s first-year economic agenda. He closes with a practical Austrian roadmap toward sound money: real savings, capital accumulation, and removing tax penalties on interest, dividends, and long-term gains.

    Massachusetts 1690: The First Western Fiat Experiment
    Feb 27 2026
    When the Massachusetts colony issued its own unredeemable paper money in 1690, it was with the promise that it would soon be redeemable in specie. Like all paper money issued by government, it lost value and the confidence of the people. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/massachusetts-1690-first-western-fiat-experiment
