Money As A Social Construct with Professor Cathy Mulligan (S1E6)

In our societies, money has a tendency to define us, but why?

In this episode, Samantha and Professor Cathy Mulligan, the Director of DCentral Lab from the University of Lisbon, talk about how money has come to play a huge role in shaping society as we know it, and has in turn been shaped by an ever-evolving social landscape. They discuss the ways digital currencies may hold the keys to completely rethinking the way we've set up our current economic system.

Join Samantha Yap on a quest to discover the history of money, to better understand why Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and decentralised finance may play an important role in our future. She’ll take you on a 5-minute audio journey that touches on the history behind today’s topic, followed by the best parts of her conversation with a returning guest, Professor Cathy Mulligan.
