What makes a society truly free? Most people point to elections, rights, or constitutions… but almost no one talks about the foundation that protects all of them: sound money.

Daniel Diaz sits down with renowned Austrian economist Robert P. Murphy to explore how the structure of money shapes the structure of society itself. When money is stable, honest, and rooted in real value, people can plan, save, build, and live without fear of silent confiscation. When money is manipulated, everything, from prices to politics, tilts toward central control. Murphy provides the contrasts of Austrian and Keynesian thinking, and illustrates how inflation, subsidies, and central-bank interventions distort markets, redistribute wealth, and quietly weaken economic freedom.
