In Jordans recent interview with Bret W, he briefly mentions Bitcoin. I beleive it was mentioned in reference to removing the ability of policital and economic/corporate elite to have an overbearing influence on a society (especially at the extreme end of capitalism, when perhaps it tilts toward tyranny). It was also mentioned there is a lot of bad info out there.
I wanted to offer you this book of a source of what i feel to be useful and non-salesly insight into the history of global economies, how global economics has/can become manipulated by corrupt powers, and significant events in economic history e.g Breton Woods / removing the gold standard. The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous.
The book is great as it barely even mentioned Bitcoin till the latter quarter of the book. The rest is just building a foundation of infrormation about global economics (from an economist). The book is also endorsed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, someone whom i thoroughly respect due to his very interesing books around statistics, probability and conformation bias e.t.c (namely, The Black Swan).
I think its a good book, as it is an education in a subject Jordan / Bret briefly hinted at, while also giving great exmples of economic history and how systems can become corrupt. With a bit of blunt humour in there too.
