Who We Are: The Sound Money Press Manifesto

Why We Exist

Something is broken in how the world talks about money.

Turn on any financial news channel and you'll hear the same script: inflation is "transitory," deficits don't matter, and the people who print the money know best how to manage it. Question the script, and you're dismissed as a crank. Accept it, and you watch your savings quietly evaporate — not through theft, but through policy.

Sound Money Press was founded on a simple conviction: you deserve better than this.

Better analysis. Better arguments. Better respect for your intelligence.

What We Believe

We stand at the intersection of three powerful traditions:

Austrian Economics — the intellectual tradition of Menger, Mises, Hayek, and Rothbard. The school of thought that predicted the Great Depression, the 2008 financial crisis, and the inflation that followed unprecedented monetary expansion. Not because its practitioners are prophets, but because they understand that economic laws — like the laws of physics — don't bend to political convenience.

Bitcoin — not as a speculative asset, but as a technological embodiment of sound money principles. For the first time in history, humanity has access to a monetary system that no government can inflate, no bank can freeze, and no committee can manipulate. Whether Bitcoin ultimately succeeds or fails, the questions it raises about money, sovereignty, and trust are permanent.

The Philosophy of Sound Money — the deeper question beneath the economics and the technology. What does it mean for money to be "sound"? Why does monetary integrity matter for human flourishing? What is the relationship between honest money and a free society? These aren't just economic questions — they're moral ones.

How We Think

Here's where we differ from most publications in this space: we challenge our own ideas.

The sound money thesis is powerful. We believe it's largely correct. But "largely correct" is not "infallible," and treating any economic framework as gospel is the fastest way to stop thinking clearly.

Every article we publish has survived internal scrutiny. We steelman the opposition. We ask: What would a thoughtful Keynesian say about this argument? Where does the data contradict our priors? Are we reasoning from evidence, or from conviction?

We do this not because we doubt the thesis, but because we respect it enough to stress-test it. Ideas that survive genuine challenge emerge stronger. Ideas that can't survive challenge don't deserve your attention — or ours.

What You'll Find Here

Sound Money Press publishes at the intersection of economics, technology, and philosophy:

• Economic Analysis — Deep dives into monetary policy, inflation, central banking, and market dynamics. We translate complex economics into clear, actionable understanding.
• Bitcoin & Digital Assets — Technical and philosophical analysis of Bitcoin's role in the future of money. Not price predictions. Not hype. Substance.
• Philosophy & Ethics — The moral foundations of economic freedom. Why property rights matter. Why voluntary exchange is superior to coercion. Why the individual — not the collective — is the fundamental unit of economic life.
• Commentary & Analysis — Real-time analysis of economic events through the lens of sound money principles. When the Fed speaks, we translate what they actually said.

Who This Is For

Sound Money Press is for the curious and the skeptical. For the person who reads the headline "Experts Say Economy Is Strong" and wonders: strong for whom?

You don't need a degree in economics to read us. You need a willingness to think. If you've ever felt that something about the financial system doesn't add up — that the rules seem designed for insiders, that your money buys less every year despite working harder, that the "experts" keep getting it wrong without consequence — you're in the right place.

Whether you're a seasoned Austrian economist or someone who just Googled "why is inflation bad" for the first time, we meet you where you are.

A Promise

We promise to be honest with you, even when honesty is uncomfortable. We promise to show our reasoning, not just our conclusions. We promise to change our minds when the evidence demands it.

And we promise to never, ever tell you that inflation is transitory.
