Speculative Finance
In this second miniseries of Season 2, "Global Finance", we're wrestling with the strangeness of living in a world that aspires to a level of global integration that our current systems can't support - and maybe don't want to. We looked at the fragility of money transfers for average citizens, the fraught history of the IMF, and the easily abused systems of microfinancing and cryptocurrency (along with the reasons we're itching for something new). In this series closer, there are no easy solutions - some promises in tech, some challenges through arbitration - but maybe it's enough just to sit with the enormity of the problem. Once we stop buying into quick fixes, we'll finally be ready to look at root causes.
