Anarchists promoted it as a means to overthrow the government. However, in these illuminating pages, \u003ci\u003eCrisis Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e editor and author Eric Sammons asserts that bitcoin is the most moral money ever created and that it outshines our current economic system, which empowers the corrupt and corrupts the powerful. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe money system we use now, Sammons explains, is one that is deeply immoral. But because most people assume that our money is just a fixed part of our economic background, the morality of our modern form of money has rarely been challenged--\u003ci\u003euntil now\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his trademark straightforward, accessible style, Sammons leaves no stone unturned in unpacking how our current form of money developed, and offers a deep dive look at why our government-issued money--also known as \"fiat money\"--is actually a \u003ci\u003edevolution\u003c\/i\u003e in the history of money. He logically demonstrates that bitcoin is the next step in money, one that overcomes the deficiencies inherent in fiat money.

He demonstrates that, unlike government-controlled money, bitcoin gives people true financial freedom, even in economically troubled times or under oppressive and totalitarian governments. In a time when more and more people are drowning in a sea of high inflation and debt and suffering under restrictions on their freedom, bitcoin provides a bright ray of hope for the future, both for individuals and for nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Sammons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798889115489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sophia Institute Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Eric Sammons","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795609309439,"sku":"9798889115489","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d093fef-be81-4318-8807-2f889970d73c.jpg?v=1744948131","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/moral-money-eric-sammons-9798889115489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
