Financial Illumination: Why Sound Money is the Foundation of a Free Society

David Morgan explains why sound money is fundamental for freedom. Our whole monetary system has been hijacked by anti-capitalists. Monopoly money is NOT capitalism.

Sound money is what allows people to plan, to save, to build, to say no. It’s what gives individuals power over their own lives. But when that money is manipulated—when inflation eats away at savings, when central banks flood the system with artificial credit, when the value of a dollar can be changed by decree—freedom shrinks. Slowly at first, then all at once.

This is how societies slide from voluntary exchange to quiet control. When money lies, trust disappears. People stop thinking long-term. They become reactive, dependent, easier to manage. That’s not a flaw in the system—it’s the point. Throughout history, rulers have known that if you control the money, you control the people.
