For today’s episode I am joined by returning guest Adam Trent.

Adam and I discuss the automation of work and its impact on our finances and emotional wellbeing. Will the world need for labour run out thanks to automation? What will happen to our dignity and wealth if the cost of labour goes to zero? Are governments and central banks making things worse or better?  Should I move to Mexico or invest in bitcoin?
