Währungshoheit, Währungsverfassung und subjektive Rechte

»Money is coined liberty,« and is essential for the reality of human beings in modern work-sharing economies. Despite the obvious relevance of money for individual freedom, almost all national or supranational legal orders make use of coercive measures in order to grant the monopoly on money to the state or the European Community. At the same time, the individual freedom to use money is legally restricted, whereas there is no guarantee of its value based on individual property rights. Against the backdrop of the interdisciplinary foundations of the monetary system, Christoph Herrmann attempts to analyze and reconstruct the existing monetary constitution from the perspective of individual rights.
