So, I have been doing a small deep dive into the nature of money and the process and history of monetary theory and I have found two main branches of thought.

One proclaims that money and monetary systems are a natural phenomenon which exists as an evolution from bartering. These thinkers believe that a free-market system is the only efficient way to measure the subjective value of labor and productivity while allow limited government to make small regulations like breaking up super monopolies or even the laissez faire types who say no regulation at all.

The other proclaims that money and monetary system are created by the government and therefore all currency is fiat and should be controlled though government intervention or complete government control.

Now from what I have been reading I find that the Austrian school of thought for economic theory provides the best explanation for the purpose and importance of people within the market and the importance of individuals and corporations to have their own private property.

Let me know what economic schools of thought you support!
