Default Re: A question about banking in AC

The intervention is on the force that they use to make us accept paper money. Do you think businesses would continue to accept easily-printable dollars if they weren't forced to pay taxes in them or issue paychecks in dollars? Of course not. People would trade in gold or silver. The reason they would do this is because it prevents ridiculous investments that exist at everyone else's expense. Government regulations force us to accept dollar bills as currency, even though a free market would quickly reject it. That's the intervention.
