Many of the greatest children’s books of all time were written during the British Imperial Century (1815-1914).

Unsurprisingly, England was on a sound money standard (the British Pound Sterling, convertible to gold) during this period. 

This was also when the “Watchman State” was most prevalent, meaning there was minimal English government intervention in its citizens’ lives and economic affairs, beyond enforcing the non-aggression principle.

We can learn much from this era. https://image.nostr.build/c1e290c707c185ea4ddf52ddda580a43128a4268ffee0c82b5b7dfac794a19bd.jpg  

 I’d love to return to gold and silver coin as mainstream tender.  And abolishing the income tax again would be nice.  Now it seems silver and gold are only good for stacking and preserving wealth.  Resolving debts with silver/gold now would result in a loss of wealth, due to the cost over spot to convert more fiat to metal.
