Smith wrote and thought a lot more on money than that bit From memory: It is my belief that princes and sovereign states, forever in abuse of their subject's confidence, will continue to debase their coinage.

"For in every country of the world, I believe the avarice and injustice of princes and sovereign states abusing the confidence of their subjects have by degrees diminished the real quantity of metal, which had been originally contained in their coins" Smith, "TWON,"p.12 Sure, I knew you'da missed me if I didn't join in. (:>) I cite some of Zarlenga's sources here: Message 24036354 SZ considers Del Mar, Cernuschi and Schacht as very important sources. I've read Schacht's "The Magic of Money," and just obtained from Germany an English translation of "Abrechnung mit Hitler," (1948) which in English is entitled: "Account Settled." I believe you know German: can you translate the German title? Try this link: monetary.org It should allow a download of a fine presentation by SZ: "After a high ranking member of the American Green Party heard my presentation on monetary reform at an AMI Chapter meeting in the midwest, I was invited to make a similar presentation at the national Convention in Reading, Pennsylvania on July 12, 2007. I call it 'Greening The Dollar, Reclaiming Our Democratic Values Through Dollar Reform' This presentation is about one and a half hours long, in three parts." Based on historic precedents, SZ is calling for the absorption of the Fed into the US Treas Dept or the creation of a fourth branch of government to handle monetary administration. The key is to eliminate the tradition of money-as-debt and bar private entities from controlling the issuance of money. Agree about faith and credit.
