    One of the actual valid reasons for a government is the regulation of a standard currency established via political policy and regulated by the rule of law.

    Wildcat currencies only harm the most vulnerable and benefit the most wealthy.

        That implies she was deliberately deceptive. She was a crank, who believed her own bullshit, until it became inconvenient to do so.

        Library-socialist actually.

        Odd that you think that a standard medium of exchange in a resource bound economy is a libertarian idea given that it predates capitalism and liberalism by more than a millennium.
