Funny Money is a show about the economy, how it works, and how it can work better. In this episode, Ka and Andrés are joined by Prof. Randall Wray to discuss the origins of money, macroeconomics, and the intellectual battles that led to Modern Monetary Theory. We cover Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes, and Karl Marx. We cover money history in the early United States. And we discuss why conventional supply and demand analysis is bunk!
