Exploring how quantitative easing and tightening reshape the dollar’s balance-sheet architecture, and how taxation functions as a burn mechanism within a fiat token system.
In a post–gold standard world, the US dollar behaves less like a claim on scarce metal and more like a state-issued token—making taxes less about “funding” government and more about burning tokens to manage inflation and anchor demand for the currency.
