About Store of Value
Store of Value explores the profound connections between monetary systems, human values, and societal structures through rigorous analysis and clear thinking.
Our Mission
We believe that understanding money is essential to understanding society. Money is not merely a medium of exchange or unit of account—it is a technology that shapes human behavior, social structures, and civilizational outcomes in fundamental ways.
Our mission is to provide sophisticated analysis that reveals these deep connections, starting with universal human experiences and building toward comprehensive understanding of how monetary systems influence everything from individual decision-making to cultural evolution.
Our Approach
We draw on insights from economics, psychology, history, and philosophy to build analytical frameworks that help readers understand complex social phenomena. Our work is grounded in the tradition of thinkers like Thomas Sowell, the Austrian School economists, and other scholars who prioritize clear thinking over political convenience.
Key principles that guide our work:
- Intellectual Rigor: We ground our analysis in verified sources and sound reasoning
- Universal Accessibility: We start with concepts everyone can understand from experience
- Progressive Sophistication: We build understanding systematically from foundations to advanced analysis
- Practical Wisdom: We connect theoretical insights to real-world applications
- Values Alignment: We show how monetary choices reflect and shape fundamental values
Why "Store of Value"?
The name "Store of Value" reflects one of money's fundamental functions, but it means more than that. A true store of value preserves not just purchasing power across time, but the values and principles that make human flourishing possible.
Sound money stores value across time. Sound thinking stores wisdom across generations. Our goal is to contribute to both.
