Monetary Policy Impact
14
No Fractional Issuance - fractional reserve banking becomes nearly impossible without the emergence of money substitutes
Healthy Deflation - opportunistic and unrestrained inflation gives way to natural deflation
Reduction in detrimental business cycles - interest rates respond more to the risk of the lending activity rather than central bank open market operations

Fiscal Policy Impact
15
De-emphasize Income Tax - governments gradually shift from taxing income to taxing consumption
Check on Spending - government spending becomes constrained by actual revenue raised, which means that unpopular expenditures will be difficult to fund
