Global Banking’s Secret Weapon - Jeff Snider, Eurodollar University, DSPod #292

The DemystifySci Podcast

Today we are introduced to the world of Eurodollars and their critical role in shaping the global financial system. Our guide is Jeff Snider, of Eurodollar University - a street smart scholar and former investment manager. We begin by dispelling myths about the evolution of money from the gold standard to ledger-based systems, and discover how Eurodollars emerged as a dominant force in international trade and banking. We attempt to make sense of hazy ideas like global reserve currency, the impact of central banks, and orient ourselves toward the future of monetary systems. Stay tuned - this is the first of three planned conversations with Jeff. Next time, we will try to look at alternative explanations for the Global Financial Crisis and then we'll see what the future has in store in terms of monetary evolution.
