Fiat money is quite explicitly a price fixing market rigging abomination at the very core of an economy. It is crony capitalism. A fiat based economy is not a free market. It is a market and economy where unelected bankers set the price of capital and the private banks control the issuance of capital, debasing private savings while gaining greater profits exactly in proportion to the amount of debt they can foist upon enterprise, government and citizens. Western democracies and capitalism have been captured and are being parasitised by rentseeking bankers who control and direct the politicians and the mainstream narrative via patronage.
