Ammous elucidates the economic, social, cultural, and political benefits of sound money over unsound money to allow for an informed discussion of the potential role Bitcoin could play in the digital economy of the future. Rather than as a currency for criminals or a cheap mass consumer payment network, this book argues Bitcoin is emerging as a decentralized, politically neutral, free-market alternative to national central banks, with potentially enormous implications for individual freedom and prosperity. For anyone looking for a clear understanding of this new digital money, \u003ci\u003eThe Bitcoin Standard\u003c\/i\u003e is the essential resource.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Bitcoin Standard\u003c\/i\u003e should be required reading for everyone in modern society. It offers a concise and coherent narrative of monetary theory, the history of money, practical economics, and the impact of political policy on business, culture, and the economy. The book contains perhaps one of the best articulations of the virtues of strong money and the dangers of weak currency yet presented in modern literature. \u003ci\u003eThe Bitcoing Standard\u003c\/i\u003e also masterfully debunks the myths of modern monetary theory and the broken ideas that have dominated the fiat economic school of thought since the early 20th century.\"\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003eFrom the Foreword by Michael Saylor, CEO of Microstrategy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"I have spent my entire career studying works about monetary theory, the gold standard, comparative monetary systems, central banks, and proposals for monetary and financial reform. I would rate a tiny fraction of the books I have read about any of these topics as excellent. Dr. Ammous' book, \u003ci\u003eThe Bitcoin Standard\u003c\/i\u003e, contains an excellent treatment of these topics in addtion to one of the few enlightened and enlightening accounts of bitcoin that I have come across. It is essential reading for anyone interested in learning the role bitcoin could play in a future regime of free and sound money.\"\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003eDr. Joseph T.
