Ep. 2 Pt. 2 - Debt Ceiling & Mint The Coin with Rohan Grey

Funny Money is a show about the economy, how it works, and how it can work better. In Part 2 of this 3-part episode, Ka and Andrés are joined by Prof. Rohan Grey to discuss the debt ceiling: its history, how we got to the current crisis, and how #MintTheCoin presents a solution that shows just how silly the whole idea is of our government running out of money.

Guest Bio: Rohan Grey is an assistant professor at Willamette University College of Law, where his research focuses on the legal design and regulation of money and finance, including digital fiat currency, as well as broader issues of law and political economy. He is the president of the Modern Money Network, a director of Public Money Action. Rohan has advised multiple members of The Squad in Congress on bills including Rep.
