You should really buy @Lyn Alden ‘s book if you haven’t already. Lyn’s writes how she speaks; clearly, concisely, and with analytical logic that is, at the same time, not in the least antiseptic. “The ability to debase coinage to pay for a war allows the war to happen first and the costs to be partially delayed, which increases the probability of war happening and increases the scale to which it may occur.”
