About this listen
In this episode of The Dollar is Dead, Jimmy Gorham and Jesse Posner dive into the fascinating world of political theology—how spiritual ideas shape money, law, and power.
From the all-seeing eye on the dollar bill to Carl Schmitt’s controversial theories, they explore what happens when reason hits its limits and we turn to faith, myth, and story to imagine the future.
Along the way, they unpack Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, the mysterious Katechon restraining both good and evil, and whether the death of the dollar could open the door to a more messianic political order.
Expect philosophy, theology, and even a little Star Trek as they ask: What comes after fiat money, and how do we build unity in a divided world?
