Originally published at a moment of great monetary upheaval and now available in English for the first time, Rueff's magnum opus remains highly relevant for understanding today's persistent inflation, debt crises, and economic disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of Rueff's argument lies the relationship between property rights and monetary integrity. When governments create by fiscal recklessness what Rueff calls \u003ci\u003efalse rights\u003c\/i\u003e--claims to wealth unbacked by real savings--they distort prices and ultimately undermine the rule of law. By contrast, a regime of \u003ci\u003etrue rights, \u003c\/i\u003e grounded in sound money and budgetary discipline, fosters economic order, legal predictability, and social harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRueff's insights go beyond monetary mechanics. Drawing on law, psychology, and political theory, he argues that the erosion of monetary and fiscal order is not just a technical problem--it is a moral and political one. Central planning, inflationary financing, and fiscal profligacy do not merely misallocate resources; they corrode the very institutions on which a free society depends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers concerned about today's economic imbalances and their broader consequences, \u003ci\u003eThe Social Order\u003c\/i\u003e is both a warning and a guide. Rueff's elegant reasoning and principled defense of economic order and human freedom make this book a landmark contribution to the philosophy of money, capital theory, and constitutional political economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJurgen Reinhoudt is a political scientist, researcher, author, and translator.
