In this relaxing episode of The Restful Record, we dive into the fascinating world of economics—from John Maynard Keynes and Adam Smith to Yuval Noah Harari’s reflections on how humans ascribe value, trust, and belief to money itself. We’ll trace the evolution from gold-backed currency to fiat money, and explore how cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, and blockchain technology are reshaping our understanding of wealth and exchange. Perfect for listeners curious about how money works, where value comes from, and what the future of finance might hold, this episode blends economic theory, history, and modern innovation in a calm, story-driven journey through time and trade.
