We're delighted to have Craig Wright of nChain back in the studios for some more organic Socratic give and take. Extending beyond the nuances of Intellectual Property, how patents do or do not work and infusing the vicious political fights of our times are the ghosts of thinkers past. It's not just the battles over #Bitcoin as #BTC or #BSV. When you hear people screaming in the public square about what's "fair" or how/if government should intervene in the markets to make things "equal," you're hearing the echoes of religious thinkers extending back 1,000 years to the Dark Ages of Europe.
Purely atheistic thinkers focus on the division of material goods, as there is no higher moral consideration at hand. Those coming from a religious tradition often have clearly developed philosophies on what constitutes "proper" economic activity, including whether usury is a sin, what level or type of interest would constitute usury, whether all lending should be forbidden or just whether lending be made more equity-like in its shared risks. Many people fighting their corner are not even aware of the intellectual traditions that spawned their deepest if inchoate convictions.
Join Craig and Christopher while they kick around the great moral economic fights that inform our times. It's the most fun you can have without a passel of drunk llamas covered in coca leaves and fresh limes.
