Season 2 Episode 3 - Hawala - An ancient form of money transfer

Hawala is a form of money transfer that dates back to at least the 8th century CE. It is a method for long-distance money transfer which was developed during the days of the Silk Road so merchants could avoid having their money stolen by bandits and robbers. Hawala is an extremely efficient system which exists to this day. But in the age of terrorism and narco-trafficking, it can be illegal. We discuss Hawala in this podcast.
