FIAT MONEY ET PEREAT MUNDUS: REFLECTIONS ON THE 100th ANNIVERSARY OF THE WEIMAR HYPERINFLATION
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.52195/pm.v21i1.934Abstract
The last few years, marked by pandemics, wars and emergencies of various kinds, have seen on the one hand an enlargement in the ranks of those who call themselves liberals, yet on the other hand, between lockdowns, vaccination requirements and green passes, we have witnessed a continuous and exasperated restriction of individual freedoms, starting with the fundamental freedom of association and disassociation.1 All this should lead us to reflect not only on the fragility of the democratic-liberal institutions, starting with the parliamentary and constitutional instances themselves, but also to question ourselves on the intrinsic limits of these institutions, creatures of a certain idea of freedom sometimes incapable of combining nature and evolution, justice and utility, theory and history.
