CoinDesk Podcast Network - MICHAEL CASEY: Disruption, Money and a World of Change, Feat. Niall Ferguson

"...I think the right lesson to draw from all of this is that a global order needs to be based on a distributed operating system, not on a centralized architecture. And I think that applies not just in the realm of money but also across the board so that there is a greater capacity for local response than we currently have..."

CoinDesk's Michael Casey speaks with author, historian and Hoover Institution senior fellow Niall Ferguson about our disrupted world, inevitable crisis and what it could mean for money.

Genghis Khan was one of the world's most successful conquerors, and his empire left an indelible mark across Eurasia.
