Marc once again drags Renee into a museum. This time the “Hall of Money." Five thousand years of humans trying (and mostly failing) to automate trust. From clay tablets that doubled as IOUs to Renaissance double-entry bookkeeping, colonial funny-money, credit cards born of embarrassment, and machines that now pay each other while we sleep, this episode follows money’s long journey.
Along the way: Marc confesses his favourite room at the British Museum, Renee recounts the chaos of American “Continentals,” and both realise the future isn’t about moving money at all, it’s about answering the underlying questions of trust.
Couple of notes from Marc - This is a bit longer, but breaking it up didn't feel right. The thread of trust stitches the past, present, and future together and I didn't want to lose that. It's a good listen in any case.
