Fiat Money Inflation In France
Andrew Dickson White
Fiat Money Inflation in France is Andrew Dickson White’s historical case study of how a state’s attempt to finance itself through unbacked paper currency can slide from emergency measure into self-destructive doctrine. Framed around Revolutionary France and the rise and collapse of the assignats, the book traces the familiar arc of monetary enchantment: initial relief, political overconfidence, price distortions, moral rationalizations, and finally the corrosion of trust that makes a currency—and the social bond beneath it—unravel.
