Michael Covel speaks with Kabir Sehgal on today’s episode of Trend Following Radio. Sehgal is a New York Times bestselling author and Grammy Award-winning producer. He is currently a vice president at JPMorgan Chase. Sehgal’s new book, Coined: The Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us, caught Covel’s eye. This is a subject layered in complexity and depth. Just about everything that goes on in our lives is decided by money and Sehgal digs into its story on a micro level. Covel and Sehgal discuss Sehgal’s history; Sehgal’s experience winning a Grammy for production and the idea of “no boxes”; why Sehgal sees his life like a jazz composition; defining money as a symbol of value; the neurological effects and artistic aspects of money; the currency of the natural world; whether Sehgal sees “money as the root of all evil”; the idea of charity; the politics of money; the internationalization of currency; hyperinflation; gold, and Sehgal’s experience going to the basement of the New York Fed; digital money and bitcoin. Coined: The Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us is available now. For more information on Sehgal visit coinedbook.com. Want a free trend following DVD? Go to trendfollowing.com/win.
