In Satoshi's white paper forum post, he cites the trust needed in banks and government not to debase the currency as a major reason for bitcoin's existence. That is really the only solid piece of evidence that it is a relevant topic baked into bitcoin's DNA.
Interestingly, all subsequent posts about the mechanisms that prevent debasement were justified with practical reasoning, though; not references to Mises or all-caps rants about the federal reserve.
