DAVID MCWILLIAMS: Money - A Story of Humanity

David McWilliams hosts one of the most successful podcasts in Ireland - and it also happens to be my favourite.


I had the privilege and pleasure of chatting to him this week about his new book called Money - A Story of Humanity.


It is not a book about how to become an economist (I'm relieved to report), but rather a fascinating history book, exploring the idea of money and its impact on society.


If you've any interest in the underlying message of The Wizard of Oz, where the name for The Dixie Chicks comes from, or just how close Hitler came to destabilising the British economy, this might just be the episode for you!
