Broken Money: How Settlement Systems Reshaped Global Finance


Listen Later

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

This analysis examines Broken Money by Lyn Alden as a systems-level analysis of monetary infrastructure, centralized ledgers, and long-term debt dynamics.

The discussion examines:

  • incentive structures
  • institutional persistence
  • debt expansion
  • reserve currency systems
  • technological settlement constraints
  • hidden monetary feedback loops

At a systems level, the episode explores how modern finance evolved from the technological mismatch between the speed of information and the speed of settlement. The analysis connects inflation, sovereign debt, banking fragility, and digital surveillance to the deeper architecture of centralized ledger systems.
