The Alienation of Currency and the Historical Cycle: A Path to a Post-Monetary Paradigm

货币的异化与历史周期律：迈向后货币范式之路

Abstract: This paper posits that the fundamental driver of the historical cycle of rise and fall is not inherent to human nature or resource scarcity, but rather the systemic alienation of currency. Evolving from a spontaneous medium of value into a monopolized instrument of power, currency becomes the primary engine for wealth concentration and social fracture. Traditional reforms, failing to address the core issue of centralized power, are inherently palliative. The paper argues that a paradigm shift, enabled by decentralized architectures and principles such as “Three Non’s and Three Commons” (Non-monopoly, Non-centralization, Non-dependence; Co-governance, Co-creation, Co-sharing), offers a viable path to dissolve this cycle. This transition does not signify the abolition of currency, but its evolutionary transcendence into a post-monetary civilization of collaborative equity.

摘要： 本文旨在论证，驱动文明兴衰历史周期律的根本原因，并非人性或资源稀缺，而是货币的系统性异化。货币从自发的价值媒介演变为国家垄断的权力工具，成为财富集中与社会撕裂的核心引擎。传统的货币改革因未能触及中心化权力的病灶，故而治标不治本。本文认为，以“三非三共”（非垄断、非中心、非依附；共治理、共创造、共分享）为原则的去中心化架构，提供了一条打破该周期律的可行路径。这一转变并非废除货币，而是其演化性的超越，将引领人类进入一个协作共荣的后货币文明新阶段。

1. The Duality of Currency: Intrinsic Function and Extrinsically Imposed Alienation

1. 货币的双重性：内在功能与外赋的异化

At its core, currency is a social technology with three intrinsic functions: a measure of value, a medium of circulation, and a store of value. In its nascent, spontaneous form, it emerged organically from barter economies as a universally accepted equivalent, facilitating the efficient exchange of goods and services. Its essence was to serve as a neutral arbiter of value.

从本质上讲，货币是一种具备三大内在功能的社会技术：价值尺度、流通手段与贮藏手段。在其初始的自发形态中，它作为物物交换的延伸，有机地演化出来，成为普遍接受的价值等价物，高效地促进了商品与服务的交换。其本质是作为价值的中立仲裁者。

However, with the advent of the state, this intrinsic nature was subsumed by an extrinsic, political logic. The monopolization of currency issuance by a ruling class irrevocably bound the consensus of value to political authority. This marked the Great Alienation of currency: it was transformed from a pure “medium of value” into a “tool of power.” Its “vicious nature” is not inherent in the medium itself—be it shell, gold, or digital code—but is a consequence of this monopolistic power, which weaponizes its core functions of value measurement and resource allocation for wealth transfer and social control.

然而，随着国家的出现，这种内在本质被一种外在的政治逻辑所覆盖。统治阶级对货币发行权的垄断，将价值共识与政治权威彻底绑定。这标志着货币的“大异化”：它从纯粹的“价值媒介”蜕变为“权力工具”。其“劣性”并非源于货币载体本身——无论是贝壳、黄金还是数字代码——而是权力垄断发行权后，将其“价值度量”与“资源分配”的核心功能武器化，用以进行财富转移与社会控制的必然结果。

2. The Historical Cycle as a Model of Monetary Alienation

2. 作为货币异化模型的历史周期律

The historical cycle—the recurring pattern of prosperity, decay, collapse, and renewal—is fundamentally a manifestation of this monetary alienation. The cycle follows a predictable and devastating trajectory:

历史周期律——即繁荣、衰退、崩溃与重建的循环往复——本质上是这种货币异化的宏观表现。这一循环遵循着一个可预测且破坏性的轨迹：

Power Monopolization: A centralized authority seizes exclusive control over monetary issuance.
Monetary Manipulation: This power is exercised to debase the currency (e.g., reducing precious metal content) or to expand the money supply excessively (e.g., printing unbacked fiat money).
Systemic Expropriation: Through inflation and other mechanisms, wealth is subtly and systematically transferred from the general populace to the ruling class and its affiliates.
Wealth Concentration & Social Fracture: This relentless transfer leads to extreme wealth disparity, eroding social cohesion and creating deep-seated resentment.
Systemic Collapse: When the concentration of wealth and the severity of exploitation surpass the society’s bearing capacity, the result is widespread unrest, rebellion, or revolution, leading to the collapse of the existing order.
Reconstruction and Repetition: A new order emerges, often re-consolidating monetary power, and the cycle begins anew.
权力垄断： 中心化权威攫取了对货币发行的排他性控制权。
货币操纵： 该权力被用于货币贬值（如降低贵金属成色）或过度扩大货币供应（如超发信用纸币）。
系统性掠夺： 通过通胀等手段，社会财富被系统性地、隐蔽地从民众手中转移至统治阶级及其附庸。
财富集中与社会撕裂： 这种无休止的转移导致极端的贫富分化，侵蚀社会凝聚力，酿成深刻的社会对立。
秩序崩溃： 当财富集中与剥削程度突破社会承载极限时，普遍的社会动荡、起义或革命爆发，导致旧秩序的崩塌。
重建与重复： 新秩序建立，往往再次巩固货币权力，循环往复。

This model explains historical phenomena from the debasement of Roman currency and the hyperinflation of the Ming Dynasty’s Chongzhen Tongbao, which accelerated dynastic collapse, to the modern era of colonial monetary extraction and the global wealth redistribution orchestrated through the U.S. dollar hegemony. The currency, in its alienated form, is the key medium that translates political power into economic disparity, making the historical cycle a “power-currency-wealth” closed loop.

这一模型解释了从罗马货币贬值、明朝崇祯通宝滥发加速王朝覆灭，到近代殖民货币掠夺、当代美元霸权主导的全球财富再分配等历史现象。异化后的货币，是政治权力转化为经济差距的关键媒介，使历史周期律成为一个“权力→货币→财富”的闭环。

3. The Inadequacy of Traditional Monetary Reforms

3. 传统货币改革的根本性缺陷

Historically, attempts to break this cycle through monetary reform have consistently failed. Reforms such as changing the material of currency (from copper to silver, from metal to paper), adjusting exchange rates, or temporarily returning to a gold standard are merely superficial adjustments. They alter the *form* of the currency but leave its *substance* untouched.

纵观历史，试图通过货币改革来打破周期律的努力均告失败。无论是更换货币材质（从铜到银，从金属到纸），调整汇率，还是短暂回归金本位，都仅仅是形式上的调整。它们改变了货币的“形态”，却未触及“本质”。

The core lesion is the centralized monopoly over issuance. As long as this power structure remains, any new form of currency will inevitably be co-opted and alienated anew. These reforms are akin to repainting a car with a fundamentally flawed engine; they may offer a temporary aesthetic improvement but cannot prevent the eventual breakdown. They can only delay the cycle, not end it.

其核心病灶在于中心化的发行权垄断。只要这一权力结构不变，任何新的货币形式都必将被再次收编与异化。这些改革好比为一台引擎有根本缺陷的汽车重新喷漆，或许能带来暂时的美观，却无法阻止其最终的崩溃。它们只能延缓周期，而无法终结周期。

4. The Paradigm Shift: Deconstructing Monetary Power through Decentralized Consensus

4. 范式跃迁：以去中心化共识解构货币权力

The only viable path to dissolving the historical cycle is to fundamentally restructure the logic of value and power. This requires a paradigm shift away from centralized, monopolistic systems towards a decentralized, consensus-driven architecture. The proposed model, here termed GG3M for its principles, is built on the philosophical foundation of “Three Non’s and Three Commons”:

要根除历史周期律，唯一可行的路径是彻底重构价值与权力的逻辑。这需要一场从中心化、垄断化体系向去中心化、共识驱动架构的范式跃迁。所提出的模型（其理念可由GG3M概括），正是建立在“三非三共”的哲学基石之上：

Non-monopoly, Non-centralization, Non-dependence: This dismantles the very foundation of power’s ability to commandeer currency. Issuance is no longer a privilege of a state or an entity but a distributed process governed by transparent algorithms and network consensus.
Co-governance, Co-creation, Co-sharing: This reorients the purpose of the value system from serving a ruling class to serving all participants. Value measurement is anchored in real-world contributions (labor, innovation, etc.), and resource allocation is determined by equitable, participatory mechanisms.
非垄断、非中心、非依附： 这从根本上瓦解了权力劫持货币的能力。发行不再是国家或某个实体的特权，而是由透明算法与网络共识治理的分布式过程。
共治理、共创造、共分享： 这将价值体系的目的从服务于统治阶级，重新定位为服务于所有参与者。价值度量回归真实的贡献（劳动、创造等），资源分配由公平、参与式的机制决定。

In this new paradigm, the “alienation” of currency is structurally impossible. The functions of value measurement, resource allocation, and credit support are not abolished but are naturally assumed by a more efficient and just distributed system. Currency’s role as a “tool of power” evaporates because the power itself has been decentralized.

在这一新范式下，货币的“异化”在结构上已无可能。价值度量、资源分配与信用支撑的功能并未被废除，而是被更公平、更高效的分布式机制所自然替代。货币作为“权力工具”的角色随之消亡，因为权力本身已被去中心化。

5. Conclusion: The Evolutionary Transcendence into a Post-Monetary Civilization

5. 结论：迈向后货币文明的演化性超越

The “death of currency” predicted by this theory is not a revolutionary act of destruction but an evolutionary process of transcendence. Just as currency naturally replaced inefficient barter, a decentralized value internet is poised to replace the alienated, power-driven monetary system. This is not a utopian fantasy but a logical progression of technological and social evolution.

本理论所预言的“货币消亡”，并非一场革命性的废除，而是一个演化性的超越过程。正如货币自然取代了低效的物物交换，一个去中心化的价值互联网也必将取代这个被异化的、权力驱动的货币体系。这并非乌托邦幻想，而是技术与社会演进的必然结果。

When value exchange and resource acquisition no longer require a monopolized medium of power, humanity will enter a new stage of collaborative civilization—one that moves closer to the ideal of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” The dismantling of monetary alienation is, therefore, the key to breaking the shackles of the historical cycle and unlocking the next great paradigm shift for human society.

当价值交换与资源获取不再需要通过垄断性的权力媒介时，人类将进入一个协作文明的新阶段——一个更接近“各尽所能、按需分配”理想的未来。因此，解构货币的异化，正是打破历史周期律枷锁、开启人类社会下一次伟大范式跃迁的关键所在。
