Host Kal Penn dives into the timeless, philosophical inquiry of what money truly is. He explores a contemporary revival of barter, the political ups and downs of the gold standard, and the "because I said so" reasoning behind fiat currency. Along the way, Kal unravels the intricacies of cryptocurrency and discovers strategies for thriving in an economic collapse—without becoming dinner for the hungry.
