Life should be getting cheaper.
That's Jeff Booth's argument. My essays trace it through ordinary life, one question at a time, until it's hard not to see.
Start reading— a new vantage point
The thesis at the centre of this site is Jeff Booth’s. The natural state of a free market is deflation is his sentence, and the site is named after it. His book The Price of Tomorrow argues that technology drives prices relentlessly down, and that we do real harm trying to prop them up. I hold his claim as he makes it, because I think he’s right. The hard part is seeing it. That’s what my essays are for.
The readings and the conclusions are mine. Jeff didn’t write them, hasn’t reviewed them, and shouldn’t be held to wherever they end up.

The problems in my essays only resolve as people leave the fiat system for bitcoin. Slowly. One mind at a time. My mission is to pour petrol on the fire of understanding.
I want to save my family. My friends. I want to help you save yours. With enough ripples, you and I will help strangers.
If understanding doesn't spread, nothing stops. The leak in everyone's money keeps feeding the gap, the anger, and the grab for control. Wages shrink quietly. Savings drain quietly. And the fight passes to your kids.
When enough people understand, the world settles on a money nobody can print. Prices get to do what they've always wanted. Fall. Your work buys more every year. Your savings hold.
If you want to help, this is how.
