Brett Scott: The Currency-Issuing Government Is Not a Giant Squirrel!

Brett Scott is an independent thinker, when it comes to money and monetary systems. He has dabbled in the dark arts of the fin-tech sector, and helped create alternative currencies. After listening to Brett, you might resist assuming the government is like a giant squirrel, madly storing up dollars to get through the winter.
