Best part of @thefiatstandard : When Saif reviews how most academic economic textbooks in the 70s and 80s articulated how the USSR economic model was superior to the US model and was expected to overtake the US. They edited those parts out after 1991 but left everything else in

In @TheFiatStandard, I argue the modern diet is a result of inflation destroying people's ability to afford good food & governments seeking to cover up the impact of inflation. I explain the economic rationale behind this claim and some of the historical evidence for it, but the story is so complex it deserves a thorough forensic investigation. @MatthewLysiak is an investigative journalist and he has spent the last 18 months investigating a century of documents that meticulously explain how we managed to arrive at a world where the majority of humanity is fat or sick from eating garbage. In terms of lives cut short, it would be no exaggeration to say that 20th century nutrition science and government food policies are the biggest crime in history, putting genocides and man-made famines to shame. @MatthewLysiak provides a gripping forensic investigation into the barely believable sequence of events, spanning over a century, which led to the complete overhaul of the modern diet and the current obesity, diabetes, and autoimmune disease epidemic ravaging our species. I wrote the introduction and contributed two chapters to this highly informative book, and am publishing it with my new publishing house, TheSaifHouse.com, where you can get it in a fine cloth hardcover with dust jacket, in 3 ebook formats, or as an audiobook. You can also get it in paperback or regular laminate hardcover from Amazon: a.co/d/bVJjxFu

My argument in @thefiatstandard, that climate change is a stupid pseudoscientific scam whose purpose is to rationalize and make you accept the poverty of inflation, continues to look less & less ridiculous by the day. latimes.com/environment/ne…

Principles of Economics Review Part 2 ———————————————— Chapter two of Saifedean's Principles of Economics builds upon the premise established in the initial chapter - the fundamental unit of economics is human action, the decisions we make in the marketplace. A multitude of terms are introduced, all with reference to this core concept. Central to this chapter is the notion of value. Saifedean persuasively argues that value is a subjective construct; individuals assign value based on their personal needs, goals, and objectives. Yet, the reality of scarcity means that not all desires can be fulfilled, necessitating trade-offs. This is where economics comes into play, serving as the study of choices humans make when goods have a cost because they are scarce. The valuation process varies across geographical locations, timeframes, and individuals, and even fluctuates within a single individual, especially as they accumulate more of a particular good. Saifedean emphasizes the variability of value, determined largely by our knowledge, our environment and our personal circumstances at a given moment. Thus, value cannot be objectively measured. As he points out, oil has gone from a good that people paid to get rid of, to a good that people paid a lot of money for. The properties of oil did not change, individual valuations did based on knowledge. Saifedean identifies a common pitfall in economic thought—equating value with price. These two concepts, he argues, are distinct. A trade merely suggests that each party values what they acquire more than what they give up. While prices reflect the preferences of those involved in a trade, they don't serve as an objective measure of an item's value. He illustrates this with the enduring paradox of why diamonds are pricier than water. This question mistakenly blends the concepts of price and value. Although diamonds fetch higher prices in the market, the subjective value of diamonds versus water ultimately depends on the individual and their specific circumstances. This chapter seems to be setting up Saifedean's approach to understanding human decision-making. He roots his understanding in fundamental principles, a stark contrast to non-Austrian methodologies, which often rely on oversimplified assumptions like the 'homo economicus' or deterministic numerical relationships. Human action is inherently varied, and this chapter compellingly argues for the recognition and understanding of this complexity and arms us with useful tools for evaluating it. @saifedean

Scientists funded by fiat inflation continue to insist the weather can only be fixed by you consuming less of the things fiat inflation makes unaffordable. #TheFiatStandard

This bit from @thefiatstandard is relevant here. If the Fed simply licensed basic safe 100% reserve banking, it would destroy the fractional reserve banking model of the fiat cartel.
