For Episode 7, Shashank and Barry get the distinguished pleasure to speak with Manu Saadia, author of 'Trekonomics'. This is the essential book on the discussion of what a 24th Century economy would really look like, socially, politically, and, of course, economically. Manu's book also challenges contemporary views on scarcity and offers changes to our own society. In our interview, we discuss the real-world implications of Trekonomics, along with deep dives into the salient points within his book. This was a joy to record and we hope you enjoy listening!
