Common Good Economics - Cryptocurrency

What exactly is cryptocurrency and how does it impact our economy? Economics Professor Fadhel Kaboub helps us understand the sometimes confusing world of Crypto, the surprising environmental impact of Bitcoin mining, and why we should be skeptical that the same folks who tanked the economy in 2008 are now champions of cryptocurrency.

 

Rep. John Yarmuth of Kentucky brilliantly explains Modern Monetary Theory.
