About this episode

Jesús (@GarzaGarciaJG) and Lu (@luirreverente) debate why opening up drove China's growth and why its authoritarian turn threatens that growth. They compare the happiness index and GDP per capita of Mexico, China, and the Nordic countries, and link the lack of freedoms to less investment and innovation. They also discuss what gives a cryptocurrency value compared to a stock, and why CBDCs might strengthen government control rather than drive decentralization.
