Carlos, 

Ludwig von Mises touches on the origin and effect of fiat money in both The Theory of Money and Credit and in Human Action. Milton Friedman's Money Mischief: Episodes in Monetary History might also be worth a look, but I have not read it myself. 

If you're looking for more of historical "case studies" I would recommend A.D. White's Fiat Money Inflation in France and Murray N. Rothbard's History of Money and Banking in the United States.

These are all books, by the way. :-)
