A nice little story about democracy, money, banks, tax, citizenship,
war, and servitude.

One topic missing from historians analysis of the Wests transition
from a physical gold and silver based money system to a fiat money
system is the defining events that facilitated and enabled this
transition.  One can find no detailed and critical political /
historical assessment of this transition, and it would be not for
lack of effort.  The transition is always presented as if it is
prima facie the refined and evolved state of things that warrants
no investigation other than superficial praise followed with dogmatic
platitudes.  But has this transition away from the barbarous relic
money system actually made mankind more refined and evolved, or has
it instead plunged mankind into an even more heightened and efficient
state of barbarism?

One encounters additional blank pages when searching for any attempt
at correlating the evolution and spread of fiat money to the
prevalence and severity of war.  A collective learned silence
descends when attempting to identify why it is, as money evolves,
that war become more ideological, destructive, widespread, and
prolonged.  We are all familiar with the endless adulations describing
the global spread of democracy, but why is it so many are unwilling
converts and it became imperative to spread democracy via war and
regime change?  And closer to home, as our own nation evolves
from a Constitutional Republic into pure democracy, how is it we
as citizens feel more and more disenfranchised rather than empowered
despite even greater doses of democracy at home?

This essay attempts to identify the defining events that facilitated
and enabled the Wests transition to a fiat based money system,
examines cause and effect between the evolution of money and the
prevalence and severity of war, and binds together money evolution
with the history of warfare by demonstrating cause and effect between
moneys evolution, the rise and necessity of endless war, and the
inevitable transition from citizens to subjects.
