Faith Meets Cryptocurrency: A Cautionary Tale

For months, the biggest economic story in the world has, seemingly, been tariffs. But according to Mark Blyth, a political economist at Brown University, that’s only a small part of it. On the week’s TLDR, Blyth breaks down how the U.S. is reshaping the global economic and political order — and what it might mean for Canada. Plus, we take a look at luxury goods markets: what’s up? What’s down? And why? And, we examine what happened when some religious scammers created their own cryptocurrency. (It didn't end well.)
