Summary

* Running time: 3 hours and 54 minutes *

During the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, our financial infrastructure failed。 Governments bailed out the very institutions that let the economy down。 This episode spurred a serious rethink of our financial system。

In 'DeFi and the Future of Finance', Campbell R。 Harvey, Ashwin Ramachandran, and Joey Santoro introduce the new world of decentralized finance。 This book argues that the current financial landscape is ripe for disruption and we are seeing, in real time, the reinvention of finance。

The authors provide listeners with a clear assessment of the problems with the current financial system and how DeFi solves many of its issues。 The essence of DeFi is that we interact with peers - there is no brick and mortar and all of the associated costs。 Savings and lending are reinvented。 Trading takes place with algorithms far removed from traditional brokerages。

'DeFi and the Future of Finance' conducts a deep dive on some of the most innovative protocols such as Uniswap and Compound。 Many of the companies featured in this book you might not have heard of - however, you will in the future。

Provocative and instructional introduction to a new paradigm in finance, commerce and the democratization of economic exchange。 Timely and well sourced, the lead author’s prescience and accurate track record with regards to economic predictions lends credibility to his review of this emerging field (cryptocurrency)。
