What is money? with Paco de Leon
"Money is a shared delusion." So says Finance for the People author Paco de Leon. Thinking critically about money & our relationship to it helps us make better financial decisions.
“Time is money.” Ben Franklin gave us that chestnut in 1748—and ever since, we’ve been trained to think of our lives as opportunities for making a buck. This week, we start a series exploring the “time is money” construction. But before we think through how we spend our time, we’re going to think through money: what it really is, how we relate to it, and some of the factors that make it “weird.” I talk with Paco de Leon from the Hell Yeah Group and the author of the brand-new book, Finance For The People.
