Minimum Competence

MaxMin - Money (How It Is Created, What It Is)

Listen

Description

Hello and welcome to a weekend edition of Minimum Competence, we’re calling a Maximum Minimum Competence episode. Essentially, time permitting and given a major legal news story, we’ll try to get you a bit more up to speed than we can in our short form daily news show.

This one? It’s on money. Namely, how it’s created, who creates it, and what limits the amount in circulation. Spoiler: the answer to none of those, directly, is the Federal Reserve.


Thanks so much for listening to Minimum Competence. If you have any questions or story suggestions, find us on Mastodon on the esq.social instance. We also have a link aggregator in the fediverse, at links.esq.social, where some of our stories will be sourced from so feel free to sign up and submit there.

We are especially interested in legal happenings from our listeners outside the United States. If you have an interesting case or story, consider recording a 30 second to 2 minute clip on your phone and sending it in. We’d love to run it. Contact information is in the show notes.
