fiat currency: history's most effective weapon of mass destruction

We keep telling you that inflation is “temporary”.
That debt “is not a problem”.
That money creation “supports the economy”.
That's not true.
Over the last century, fiat currency has caused more collapses, more silent plunder and more social injustice than all the wars put together. It produces no real wealth, but redistributes poverty with mathematical precision to the benefit of a financial minority. This system is not in crisis. It is working exactly as planned.

by Ludovic Malot, economist & entrepreneur

Wars, crises and pandemics are often blamed for impoverishing people. But this is not true.

The most destructive weapon ever invented against the working classes is fiat currency.

A currency created by decree, with no real roots, no natural limits, controlled by unelected central banks.

Since it replaced gold, it has enriched only a minority, while methodically ruining the majority.

1. History is clear: all fiat currencies end up at zero

No exceptions. No exceptions.

  • Ancient Rome The denarius contained 95 % of silver under Caesar. A century later, it contained just 0.5 %. The result: economic collapse.
  • Weimar (1923) Prices double every 48 hours. A loaf of bread went from 250 marks to 200 billion marks.
  • Zimbabwe (2008) official inflation of 500 billion %. A ticket from 100,000 billion of Zimbabwean dollars could not even buy a bus ticket.
  • Venezuela Cumulative inflation of over 1,000,000 % in ten years.

The rule is simple:

Any currency that can be created without limit ends up being destroyed without limit.

2. 1971: the day humanity switched to debt currency

On 15 August 1971, Richard Nixon abolished the convertibility of the dollar into gold.

Since that day, all the world's currencies have become currencies of infinite debt.

Impact in figures :

  • The dollar lost more than 98 % in purchasing power since 1971.
  • The Swiss franc lost nearly 95 % of its real value against gold.
  • Global debt has risen from 3,000 billion $ in 1971 to over 315,000 billion $ today.

Wealth has never increased so much.

Never before have people been so indebted.

3. Who really benefits from fiat currency?

Not to employees.

Not to pensioners.

Not to savers.

It benefits just three categories:

  1. Over-indebted States, These are people who no longer pay back their debts through work, but through invisible inflation.
  2. The banks, which create money out of thin air while charging real interest.
  3. The ultra-rich, These are the investors who have access to assets prior to the monetary injection (equities, property, private equity).

This is what the economist Richard Cantillon called in the 18th century:

“The Cantillon effect: those who get the money first get richer, the last get poorer.”

Inflation is no accident.

This is a tax that has not been voted on.

4. fiat currency destroys companies from within

It mechanically causes :

  • The explosion in housing prices
  • The collapse of savings
  • Dependence on credit
  • The financialisation of the entire economy
  • The total submission of governments to central banks

When money dies, society is becoming more radical :

  • political extremes,
  • social conflicts,
  • revolts,
  • authoritarian regimes.

It's not a drift.

This is an historic law.

5. Gold crosses empires

  • Under the Roman Empire: gold remains.
  • After the two world wars: gold remains.
  • After Bretton Woods: gold stays.

Since 1971:

  • gold went from 35 $ to over 4,100 $ per ounce.

As J.P. Morgan said:

«Gold is money. Everything else is credit.»

Conclusion - fiat currency does not finance the economy: it organises legal looting

fiat currency is not a neutral tool.

It is a one-way wealth transfer instrument :

from the people to the holders of monetary power.

It destroys :

  • work,
  • savings,
  • sovereignty,
  • stability.

And it enriches :

  • insolvent countries,
  • the major banks,
  • globalised finance.

You can't fix a lying currency. You replace it.

History is clear:

Empires always fall after the death of their currency.

The only question now is:

Will we prepare for the exit - or wait for the collapse?
