Saifedean Ammous of course is the author of the amazing book The Bitcoin Standard, a book that I owe a lot to.
I pre-ordered The Gold Standard from his store. Here's what he says:
What would the twentieth century have looked like on a gold standard? What would have happened to the state without its money printer? What would have happened to prices, wages, living standards, capital markets, politics, energy production, technology, and education?
In The Gold Standard, internationally bestselling author Saifedean Ammous answers these questions with a unique alternative history that is one-third history, one-third novel, and one-third economic analysis. In 1911, French aviation pioneer Louis Blériot partners with the Wright brothers to build the Blériot Transport Corporation (BTC), an airplane-based decentralized peer-to-peer gold-settlement network.

I have all his books, and recommend The Bitcoin Standard to everyone I know that has any interest at all in bitcoin.
Except for Principles of Economics. I bought it but just haven't been able to get into it. Maybe because it's more textbook style.
