Does anyone else spend to much time think about how the fiscal policy of most of Rosharan governments must differ from our own due to the fact that they are on a universal currency.
A goverment can't issue money to pay bills, hyperinflation isn't as much of a thing.
So many financial shenanigans are just eliminated.
The closest Roshar has to mints are glass blowers and gem cutting. Even if there is a large influx of raw gemstones, there will be a delay before tha wealth enters the economy because those raw gemstones need to but cut and then enclosed in glass. The eneling process takes at least 12 hours. They would have some of the same issues with slowed growth as the a gold standard but that might still help combat natural inflation
I dont even known how counterfeiting would work.
Money changes as a job would be eliminated.
And your money would double as your lamp which means your money has a usefull application outside of trade.
Rosharan probably use a heavilr grade of cloth for purses and pockets just to trap in the light.
On that note, I bet Rosharan art restoration is easier than our art restoration just because it's been exspoded to less soot.
