Our Weekly Economic News Roundup: From Chocolate to Cereal

Every once in a while, (and sometimes each day) I listen to a great podcast, enjoy an article, or see a good video that I want to share with you. These are my e-links.

Sort of like a surrealist’s painting telling us to question what we see, an Odd Lots podcast (“How Do We Define a Currency?”) had a similar message about money. Initially, we are reminded that money does not really exist, and its legitimacy depends on us. Then, looking back, we see that money tended to be tangible. And now it could be digital. Through the history, psychology, and value of different currencies, during an hour-long panel discussion, we get a biography of money. I recommend listening because there was so much to learn.
