[Star Trek]why Ferengi never invent fiat currency?

it's my understanding fixing money to a hard finite commodity, like Latinum, makes it really hard for governments to do anything about stuff like recessions?

It's important to remember that the Ferengi system isn't just a lifestyle - it is quite literally a religion, and one of holy texts of said religion is The Rules of Acquisition. The Rules very clearly state that "Nature decays, but latinum is forever".
