Natalie Brunell is joined by Lyn Alden for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces shaping the global financial system and the future of money. Lyn breaks down the complexities of the US dollar’s reserve currency status, its role in persistent trade deficits, and the economic toll on America’s working class.
