Summary
This week on the Andrew Yang Podcast, Andrew is joined by Brendan Greeley, Financial Times contributing editor and author of the new book "The Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World's Most Powerful Money." They dig into the surprising history of the dollar, which predates the United States itself, why local currencies could matter more than ever in the AI era, how bank failures shaped the money we use today, and why the dollar's dominance has less to do with American governance than you'd think.
