The Gold-Bone Standard: Why Treats Replaced the Dollar in the Global Doggy Economy

$40,00

A monetary history of canine civilisation, from the early belly-rub economy to modern treat-based fiat.

Description

Every economy needs a reserve currency. For dogs, it is, and always has been, the treat. This ambitious economic history traces the rise of the Gold-Bone Standard — from primitive belly-rub barter, through the great Squeaky-Toy bubble of 2007, to the modern era in which a single chicken strip can resolve a domestic dispute. Includes monetary policy recommendations for human households running persistent treat deficits. Companion volume to Bark Street Bets.
