i do not want to turn this list into the other lists, so i will say this once
and then go back to the technical matter.

the argument against inflation that gets made here is an argument about
efficiency. mine is not. mine is that a man can work for forty years, put
what he earns in the place he was told to put it, and lose it in a single
week because of a decision taken in a room he will never see, by people who
will never explain it to him, and there is no appeal, and there is nobody to
be angry at, and he will be told that he should have diversified.

i am not interested in a better currency. i am interested in a currency where
that particular thing cannot happen to that particular man.
