About this listen

We talk about how the Euro came to be and the consequences of merging the financial futures of differing nations. We cover: Bretton Woods, the Treaty of Rome, the snake in the tunnel, the Maastricht Treaty, the Euro rollout, and the Eurozone Crisis.

We're supported by Protocol Labs and Protocol Labs Ventures - funding@protocol.ai. Protocol Labs projects include IPFS, Filecoin, libp2p, and many more. Their aim is to make human existence orders of magnitude better through technology.
