I do agree there is a strong case for Bitcoin being superior in terms of the way the individual is treated and there is definitely a case where the modern nation state (and probably less modern nations states as well) have abused fiat monetary powers. My own position is simple and does not require a book to explain... since neoliberalism of the 1980s deregulated banking allowing bankers to issue new money toward finance of any purpose whether productive or not, our fiat monetary system has become dysfunctional and has directed huge sums of capital/debt fiat monetary issuance toward non productive speculative asset price pumping which dose not compensate most participants in the host economy with any increase in overall wealth production and prosperity. It is in protest of this misuse of fiat money that I hold Bitcoin and partially escape the rentseeking neoliberal banksters fiat debt slavery while being part of building an alternative. Fuck the banksters and their politician puppets.
