As the current economic crisis comes into clearer focus, how leading voices from pop culture to crypto including Carlota Perez, The Chainsmokers, Ray Yousseff and many others are reimaging money.

Over the last month, the “Money Reimagined” series has looked at the battle for the future of money.
Episode 1 focused on the dollar and why it is simultaneously stronger and more set up to fail than ever before, setting the stage in our battle for the future of money.

Episode 2 was all about the obvious contenders to replace the dollar such as the euro or China’s currency, especially as they race towards a digital yuan. It also looked at where Facebook’s Libra might fit in the future of money.
