Where James Li and Dave Donars reflect on the nationwide George Floyd protests and discuss why our Podcast is actually called Peak Money (hint: the name references how America can fix capitalism). Recorded at the very beginning of the New York protests this episode takes a break from marketing and awkwardly tries to tackle some of the historical context around the historical moment we are all living through. Obviously we don’t have the solutions, but James and Dave feel it is important to keep talking. We also argue about automated cars versus people who are just sh*t drivers. Sadly Dave’s discussion about the Yang Gang and Jame’s discussion of condition implication structures and normative derivations was edited out by James.

Freehand Media presents Peak Money. Peak Money is a podcast by--and for--contrarians. We discuss economics, finance, business, marketing, culture and technology...but never really get to it.
