 Level: 3 CS Original | If fiat money comes from "thin air," why does the state prosecute thefts of it from individuals, businesses and institutions? And how would gold standard obsessives treat gold if the government stopped prosecuting thefts of gold because it no longer considered it as property and a store of value? | |||||

Level: 1 CS Original | I have an answer, but first, what do you consider the definition of money? I'll elaborate more based on your answer, so I can see where you're coming from and type up an appropriate response (since I can easily type up a HUGE explanation, but I'd rather not bore you with things you already know). | |||||
