The gold standard system was ceased by Nixon shock in 1971 and the value of money has been backed up by the trust in its government since then, which is fiat money. It means that currency of each nation has become guaranteed by trust, some kind of invisible value. Then what is trust in government based on? and what is trust in a nation? Since money is no longer backed up by gold, a material standard, we need to comprehend what the actual basis of the fiat money is. In the age of gold standard system, quantity of gold reserves restricted the entire amount of the currency (money) each nation could print. Then what is the basis of currency now that restricts any government on printing money? In fact we haven't found any clear answer to this question but once we find it, we can open a way for a new capitalism which has a clear basis that replaces the standard of gold. This short book illustrates a clear answer to it and flame a new capitalism which is now emerging.
