In this episode, we are joined by Rune Østgård, the Norwegian author of “Fraudcoin: 1000 Years with Inflation as a Policy” a book covering the history of money, inflation and the birth of central banks.

In this conversation, we go from Viking times to today's monetary system, and we discuss the importance of bitcoin in our quest to regain monetary freedom.
