Arguments for state-monopolized currency
What are the pros for a state controlled currency (other then the pros for a politcally connected elite of course)?

Re: Arguments for state-monopolized currency
Stability and lack of bank runs, that and the upheaval and nervousness caused by switching to multiple currencies. Little old ladies may get confused by fast talking currency salesmen into putting all their savings into a worthless unbacked currency. Not that I necessarily believe it but I think those are the arguments.

[/ QUOTE ] Are you actually going to walk around wearing that thing? [/ QUOTE ] I'm so torn on this issue. On one hand I care a lot about voluntaryism and would like to see the position popularized, or at least discussed more often. On the other hand, contrary to this forum I don't enjoy talking about politics, let alone political theory. In the real world in social situations I'm like every other 19 year old guy, trying to get drunk, high, and laid. Spreading the idea of anarchocapitlism not only doesn't help that, but it's very likely to be counter-productive to it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The reason is because the state is merely a metaphor, a projection, of something else. It is a metaphor for their ideas of authority, for their ideas about their family, friends, teachers, and so on. When people are unable to judge these things; when they have not processed their past, then we know that a relationship that we may have with them will be a function of that.
