These are takeaways from this book.

Firstly, The Concept of Fiat Currency, A central theme of ‘The Fiat Standard’ is an exploration of what fiat currency is and how it differs from other forms of money, such many cryptocurrencies. Ammous explains that fiat currencies are government-issued currencies that are not backed by a physical commodity, such as gold or silver. Instead, their value comes from the trust and faith that people have in the issuing government. He delves into the history of fiat currencies, tracing their origins and the transition from commodity-backed currencies to fiat money. Ammous argues that this shift has had profound implications for economic stability, inflation rates, and national debt, providing a foundation for understanding the broader critiques he levels against the fiat system throughout the book.

Secondly, Debt and the Fiat System, Ammous critically examines the relationship between fiat currencies and debt, arguing that the fiat system inherently encourages the accumulation of debt. By providing governments with the power to print money, fiat currencies enable states to borrow excessively, leading to national debts that can spiral out of control. This section explores how such fiscal policies not only undermine economic stability but also contribute to wealth inequality, as the benefits of newly created money are not distributed evenly across society. Ammous discusses the concept of ‘debt slavery,’ where citizens are burdened by the consequences of government debt through taxation and inflation, effectively tethering future generations to the financial decisions of the present.

Thirdly, Inflation and Economic Control, One of the most critical discussions in ‘The Fiat Standard’ revolves around inflation—an inherent feature of fiat currencies. Ammous provides a detailed analysis of how fiat currencies facilitate central control over the economy, allowing monetary authorities to manipulate inflation rates through monetary policy. He argues that such control distorts economic signals, leading to malinvestment and boom-bust cycles. The author also highlights the impact of inflation on individual purchasing power, illustrating how it acts as a hidden tax on savings. This section underscores the argument that fiat currencies, by enabling unchecked inflation, erode the foundations of a stable and prosperous economy.

Fourthly, Alternative Monetary Systems, In contrast to the bleak picture painted of the fiat currency system, Ammous explores alternative monetary systems, with a particular focus on cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, which he previously championed in ‘The Bitcoin Standard.’ He presents these alternatives as more transparent, decentralized, and resistant to manipulation. This section of the book assesses the properties of good money—durability, portability, divisibility, uniformity, limited supply, and acceptability—and evaluates how well cryptocurrencies meet these criteria compared to fiat currencies. Ammous posits that the adoption of sound monetary systems could usher in a new era of economic stability and freedom, free from the pitfalls of debt and inflation that plague fiat systems.

Lastly, The Societal Impacts of Fiat Currencies, Beyond economic metrics, Ammous delves into the broader societal impacts of fiat currencies, arguing that they perpetuate a cycle of debt slavery and economic dependence. He discusses how fiat systems affect education, healthcare, and social welfare, leading to systemic inefficiencies and inequalities. This section critically examines the moral and ethical dimensions of monetary policy, questioning the legitimacy of a system that benefits a select few at the expense of the majority. Through a compelling narrative, Ammous advocates for a reevaluation of our relationship with money, urging a move toward monetary systems that foster greater economic independence and societal well-being.

It’s that time of year when we all make promises to ourselves about getting out of credit card debt. It’s time to take yourself seriously. Credit Cards are instruments of modern financial slavery and the sad truth is most of us do this to ourselves. Nobody forces us to rack up credit card debt. We usually justify it to ourselves but saying “I deserve this” or something like that. But the truth is the things we put on the credit card rarely buy us any happiness and serve only to force us into working for someone else’s benefit. So it’s time to make 2022 that year that you finally took yourself seriously enough to control your spending and free yourself from the slavery of credit card debt. You can slow the bleeding by getting yourself a new card that offers 0% interest on balance transfers for 12-18 months and no balance transfer fee. That buys you time. But the real work to be done is to get that spending under control!

A lucid and original account of where money comes from and why most people and businesses are so heavily in debt. It explodes more myths than any other book this century, yet it’s all about subjects very close to home: mortgages, building societies and banks, agriculture, transport, global poverty, and what’s on the supermarket shelf. The author proposes a new mechanism for the supply of money, creating a supportive financial environment and a decreasing reliance on debt.

Reviews

Michael’s focus is definitely for anyone who is in debt and wants some no-nonsense simple systems to bail out of it.
— Janine Bolon, founder of SmartCents Inc and author of ‘Money…It’s Not Just for Rich People’ and ‘Ditching Debt’

This book doesn’t waste time making its points, and there are many very good points. Michael Mihalik is a good teacher, and Debt is Slavery is the kind of how-to manual that should be handed out like tracts at an airport.

Debt is Slavery is a great personal finance book, one of the best I’ve read.

The book is lean and mean – it doesn’t mince many words at all. If direct and clear advice is what you’re looking for, you can’t do much better than Debt is Slavery.

Debt is Slavery is packed full of content and it prompted me to action. This book made so much sense to me and I think it helped me realize my true priorities. Your book is making a huge positive difference in my life. Thank you.

Book Description

In his book, Debt is Slavery, Michael Mihalik describes the 10 steps he personally used to gain control of his finances and pay off a large amount of debt.

The key to Mihalik’s method is changing the way people think about money. Mihalik contends that people who do not change their perceptions about money will never succeed in improving how they handle their finances because all action is born from thought.

Mihalik’s first technique is described in the title – equating debt with slavery. While this idea may seem extreme to some, people who are burdened with debt will definitely understand how borrowing money puts them in financial servitude to the lender. Successfully equating debt with slavery stops people from accumulating more debt, which is the first step towards recovery (similar to stopping the leak in a sinking boat prior to bailing out the water).

Mihalik goes on to describe other powerful ideas such as equating money with time (to eliminate unnecessary spending), evaluating the hidden cost of possessions, and avoiding the insidious influence of ubiquitous marketing. As the reader progresses through the book, their perceptions about money will transform until by Chapter 9, they will truly believe they can ‘Save 50 Percent of Your Salary’. The book ends with an in-depth description of a simple way to plan your finances.

The author states in the introduction that because people are busy and do not want to be distracted by ‘fluff’, he has boiled the book down to the absolute basics. The result is a hard-hitting book that is 128 pages cover-to-cover. There is a gem on every page and even the busiest person can find time to read this powerful book.
