This Bitcoin Fundamentals podcast features an interview with Lawrence Lepard, author of a new book on macroeconomics and Bitcoin. The conversation begins with Preston Pysh praising the book's clear structure and accessible explanation of complex economic concepts, particularly its focus on explaining the problem of inflation before presenting Bitcoin as a solution. Lepard discusses his writing process, including using his wife as a test reader to ensure clarity for a non-expert audience, and shares an anecdote about speaking truth to power at a Harvard Business School event. The discussion delves into the current state of the US economy, highlighting the masked nature of inflation and the ongoing sovereign debt crisis, ultimately advocating for Bitcoin as a solution to these problems. The interview concludes with Lepard emphasizing the moral imperative of sound money and expressing hope for a brighter future with Bitcoin as a foundational element.
