Great article! I'm a history buff so I really enjoyed the part on the French Revolution and the Assignats; actually, I purchased one a couple of years ago and it is a nice artifact depicting the end of empire.

I also liked the way you began by stating that money should be something of value and how people now often mistake fiat as something with tangible value behind it. It's sad to see the masses so asleep.

As for solutions, don't forget the emergence of cryptos. You talked about 'Community currency'; well, this could also be done with Bitshares for instance where anyone can create a limited supply of tokens. And these custom tokens can even be pegged to either fiat or gold (of course I prefer gold). I wouldn't be surprised if the EOS platform also comes out with something similar (if not even better) as it is the same guy behind its creation: Dan Larimer.

As for other solutions on how the populous can restore monetary order, I'd recommend what is proposed in Restoring the Lost Republic (of the United States of America).

As for the IMF, well we all know what they are about!

Thanks again for the very informative article!
