In this episode we answer a trio of emails from MyContactInfo and a piece de resistance from Eric.  We discuss why complicated financial products are bad for you, Peter Bernstein's books and what Paul Volcker had to say about gold, and spurious histories of money.  And we celebrate our inanity and insanity with Eric.
