Description

Devon Zuegel talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the crazy world of money and finance in Argentina. When inflation is often high and unpredictable, people look for unusual ways to hold their savings.

Welcome to Argentina, where Zuegel finds surprising applications of cryptocurrency for solving problems.
