Federal government policy and the Federal Reserve System are the root causes of inflation, instability, and currency devaluation. However, states can take some steps to protect their citizens from the ill effects of America’s unbacked paper money system.
The 2018 Sound Money Index is the first index of its kind, ranking all 50 states using nine different criteria to determine which states have implemented the most pro-sound money policies in the country. Utah, Texas, and Wyoming round out the top three most sound money-friendly states in the U.S., according to the index, released by the Sound Money Defense League and Money Metals Exchange.
