Money, Culture, and the Formation of Capital

Allen Farrington and Sacha Meyers join me for a multi-episode conversation exploring their book "Bitcoin is Venice." In this episode, we discuss the nature of capital and its connection with culture, the effects of Bitcoin on culture and ethics, and how the Bitcoin standard changes the primary incentive structure under which mankind operates.

Allen Farrington and Sacha Meyers co-authored the book "Bitcoin is Venice".
