On 1. Note that there was a lack of basic economic history fact-checking in the newer book of his: https://www.aier.org/article/everything-is-the-feds-fault-a-review-of-the-fiat-standard/
On and on it goes. The book reads like a 350-page under-sourced rallying tweet full of insults, name-calling, and hyperbolic language. While entertaining, it’s tiresome – and worth very little. Saif’s aggressive tone and outlandish claims undercut his argument and bewilder the reader. He rarely provides references for his claims, and seldom does he even identify the opponents he attacks. We are to take Saif’s word for it, his denouncement accepted as (fiat?) gospel.
Checks out.
