Academically, it’s Aristotelian/Thomistic philosophy: Natural Law
For the average layman: in reality, value is created through work.
money is an object, brought into existence when people exchange objects imbued it with value.
money grounded in work aligns with natural law. sound money
money not grounded in work doesn’t align with natural law. fiat money
this asymmetry creates a one way energy transfer. the transfer is volatile, but it csn only trend to its inevitable end.
drop a rock off of mountain, it will speed down, bouncing up and down along the way, but due to the nature of reality, gravity, and the energy transfer, we would say it inevitably ends up at the bottom.
that’s a down and dirty explaination.
i do a better job, with more words, in my upcoming book
