Show Notes

"You got to go from proto banking to full service banking and then to central banking and you know interconnected central bank. So now a lot of that is actually a technological story and I don't think it gets covered enough because most people covering it. Historians and economists aren't necessarily looking at the lens of technology and at most they'll give a caveat like oh the telegraph allowed this.
But it's like no, that's actually not like a footnote.That's a core thing that happened, that changed everything.
And so that's why I wanted to focus Broken Money on not just individual decisions but actually how technology dictates the changing money over time."

~ Lyn Alden
