Hi All,

Welcome to Questioning Money - an audio newsletter that takes a closer look into how money works and how systems of money affect the world around us, often in ways we don’t realize.

Today’s newsletter issue talks about printing money. As talks about the sizes of the COVID-19 stimulus packages continue, it is becoming increasingly common to wonder why we can’t print as much money as we want - either to fund stimulus or to accomplish other policy goals. The reason why is because printing more money doesn’t actually buy more things. That idea can be hard to wrap your head around. Let’s talk about it.

If you like the newsletter - please subscribe. You can also follow me on Twitter @seancover.

Thanks for listening!

Sean
