reduce government spending. Despite the favorable business 
climate he instilled, the difference between what the Senate 
spent and what it raised in taxes continued to grow. In fact, 
under Roughy’s watch, the gap widened dangerously. 
Fortunately, fresh fi sh from foreign sources continued to 
roll into the bank. The notes that were used to pay for 
these fi sh were exported and never redeemed for actual 
fi sh. With such a favorable dynamic in place, Usonia set 
sail into what appeared to be an era of unprecedented

rom the beginning of recorded history, humanity has 
used all sorts of things as money. Salt, shells, beads, 
livestock—all had their day. But over time metals, particularly 
gold and silver, have emerged as the most widely used forms 
of money. This is not an accident. Precious metals have all 
the qualities that make money valuable and useful: scarcity
desirability, uniformity, durability, and malleability. 
Even if people didn’t want the metal as money, it still had 
value based on its other uses and relative scarcity. 
In contrast, paper money has value only as long as enough 
people agree to take it in exchange for goods and services. 
But that makes its value completely subjective. Since it 
can be produced at will, and has no intrinsic value itself
the paper can become worthless if enough people lose 
faith in it.
