About this episode
In this episode, Brad taps Dr. Edwin Vieira to talk about the history and current status of the Federal Reserve System. Dr. Vieira is a Harvard lawyer, monetary historian, and the author of Pieces of 8, a book analyzing the evolution of the present monetary system and the court processes that led us here. As someone who's had a front seat to some of these events, Dr. Vieira has many insights to share. He and Brad talk about the concept of sound money, what really constitutes 'lawful money', and the federal reserve system, as well as Congress's role over the years in upholding today's flawed financial system. Tune for these topics and more.
