103. Debt Discussion 2: Economics and Other Science Fictions with Cory Doctorow
A still from George Melies' 1902 film A Trip to the Moon, still more realistic than most economic theories

For the second episode of Debt Discussions, Cory Doctorow returns to the show to talk about Chapter 2 of Debt, The Myth of Barter. Cory and I talk about the way that economics resembles science fiction, the original reception of Debt (especially on the blog Crooked Timber), and talk some more about the topic of UBI and a jobs guarantee.
