Ephemera. [4] pages. Age toned at extremities; two horizontal folds from mailing. Very Good. Riegel sends off a salvo of correspondence to Walter Spahr, vice president of the Economists National Committee, insisting that Spahr use the Committee?s literature to advertise his Valun system. After refusing, Riegel responds by sending this record of correspondence to individual members, writing: ?The following correspondence reveals a closed mind that we trust is not typical of the profession of economists.? Riegel again insists that these professionals read and comment on his proposal as ?a test of the rational-mindedness of the valun idea and the open-mindedness of American economists.? Riegel fiercely campaigned for the separation of state and currency, arguing that truly unrestricted and free markets (which he equated to true democracy) could exist only when individuals and groups could self-issue currency?an idea that surged with the advent of cryptocurrency, cypherpunks, and the introduction of Bitcoin in the late 2000s.

Ephemera. 2 leaves, printed on rectos only. Very Good. Riegel-authored letter soliciting new Committee members, making an anti-statist appeal for free markets and warning of high inflation. Riegel asserted the right of individuals to issue their own currency (?Only private enterprisers can issue money. No constitution can make or break or amend this natural law?) and that U.S. government deficit spending during World War 2 constituted fraud (?The effect upon the purchasing power of the dollar by the introduction of these unrecaptured tax dollars is precisely the same as water in milk?it makes more liquid with no increase in substance? ?Under the moral law and economic law, the government?s issue is counterfeit money. The Issue by governments of so-called money is the greatest social fraud?). Among the charter members are Lawrence Labadie (anarchist and youngest child of Joseph Labadie), Arthur Leyrer of Oakland, and libertarian Charles T. Sprading of Los Angeles. Several of these ideas are echoed by the cypherpunk and cryptocurrency movements popular among right libertarians and anarcho-capitalists.

Pamphlet. 2 issues (12 pages; 8 pages), staplebound pamphlets. Issue one has a blank form inserted soliciting voluntary contributions to the Valun Institute. One horizontal fold and minor soiling and toning to extremities to both issues. Very Good. In the first issue there are a series of articles defending private enterprise and denouncing state control of currency. Riegel offers a vision of unrestricted fiat-based free markets as the ultimate harbinger of democracy, and outlines two principles and a detailed constitution for a Board of Valun Exchanges that would privately issue currency and perfect private enterprise. ?There is nothing in the Constitution that impairs the citizen?s right to issue money, nor is there any explicit authorization for the Government to undertake money issuance. In fact it was the intent of the founders to forbid it.? The second issue (dated 11 months later) contains transcripts of letters Riegel sent to the Treasury Department announcing his new system. Riegel was an anti-statist whose belief in a universal currency issued by individuals and not associated with any state authority is echoed in the cypherpunk and cryptocurrency movements.
