emu is bad for you
This document discusses two hidden dangers of emu (european monetary union):
  1. the social damage inflicted by inflation, which I regard as an unmitigated evil perpetrated by corrupt government, and
  2. the potential for contention between nations if this nonsense is forced through against the wishes of the citizens of the various nation states. Very few are covering that issue adequately, but the early part of John Redwood's book, David Owen's article and, particularly succinct, Friedman’s article are germane. William Hague has drawn some attention to this matter in a speech.

Both issues have considerable civil liberty implications.

There are also some basic references to private money.

Includes some key references.
