F. A. Hayek, Libertarianism, and the Denationalization of Money

“Hayek found support within the American libertarian movement. Libertarians realized that Hayek’s radical proposal would limit state control over the monetary system and allow for the free exchange of gold.”

Angus Deaton: "The United States has become a darker society since I arrived in 1983.
