  • From Gold to Chaos: The Psychology of Fiat Money After 1971 (309)
    Dec 3 2025
    (This is a rebroadcast of episode 199)

    In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we dive deep into one of the most defining economic turning points in modern U.S. history: 1971, the year President Nixon ended the Bretton Woods agreement and removed the dollar from the gold standard. This decision—often overlooked—set in motion decades of inflation, currency distortion, and financial instability that still affect every aspect of life today. Drawing on Dave Smith’s compelling explanation, we explore how radically different the world could have been if the U.S. had maintained a stable, sound money supply. Imagine a world without runaway inflation, without the boom-bust cycles created by loose monetary policy, and without the government’s ability to quietly tax citizens through currency debasement. Smith argues that abandoning gold didn’t just change the economy—it changed society, culture, and global power dynamics. We break down:
    • What exactly happened in 1971
    • Why stable money is foundational to liberty and psychological well-being
    • How inflation quietly alters behavior, incentives, and family life
    • How fiat money fuels political overreach, endless wars, and corporate distortion
    • What individuals and communities can do now, in an unstable financial era
    • Sound money solutions, from decentralization to Bitcoin to local alternatives
    If you've ever wondered why everything feels more expensive, more chaotic, and more distorted than it used to, this episode connects the dots. Understanding 1971 is the first step—deciding what to do next is the challenge we tackle together.

She also discusses the relationship to the Father archetype in the current situation in the US of the positive and negative masculine.

  • Ron Paul’s Great Idea! (ep 307)
    Nov 19 2025
    Our country has a decades-long history of candidates promising to reduce war and spending. And then, of course, when they get in office, they seem to do the opposite, no matter which political persuasion. The only good news is that when the public feels deceived, they Elect the opposite party. But of course within a year it is just more of the same.

    Ron Paul has reminded us that there is no perfection either by liberty or by tyranny. He suggested the solution is to introduce more individual voluntary choice into our system.
