This Machine Kills - 11. Anonymous Authority
Cold open: Crazy Currency with Jack Jammer
We enter the “parliament of extrastatecraft” and discuss the actually existing world order — we're talking the techno-politics of standardization, the transnational institutions that establish the rules and structures for essentially everything, and the geopolitical struggle between the US and China over who will wield the technocratic power of standards setting.

Consider This from NPR - The U.S. Pandemic Is Stuck In A Cycle Of Endless Ups And Downs
Coronavirus cases fall, so people let their guard down. Cases rise, so they get more vigilant. That's the cycle the U.S. is stuck in.
In most states across the country, the number of new coronavirus cases each day is up. That's the situation in Wisconsin, where cases are surging. Infectious disease specialist Dr. Michael Landrum spoke with NPR about what he's been seeing the last several weeks.
As a whole, the U.S. is seeing around 50,000 new cases each day. That's an increase from 35,000 a month ago. NPR's Will Stone charts the course of the pandemic's ups and downs over the last nine months, from early cases in Washington state to the current spread of the virus into rural America. And the predictions for winter are grim, as people are likely to spend more time indoors.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: The IMF, G20 and BIS Gear Up for the Central Bank Digital Currency Era
New reports on digital currency design principles and regulatory standards show just how quickly the world’s bankers are moving.
This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Nexo.io and Elliptic.
Today on the Brief:
- Is the “blue wave” Democrat victory narrative in the presidential election starting to shake up Wall Street?
- Johnson & Johnson pause COVID-19 vaccine trial
- 1000 Satoshi-era bitcoins are on the move
Our main discussion: The world’s central banks are moving quickly on digital currencies. NLW looks at a slew of recent news showing how much of a priority CBDCs are becoming:
- A report from the Bank for International Settlements and seven other central banks setting design principles for CBDCs
- A G20 regulatory standards framework
- A forthcoming OECD tax reporting framework
One need only look at the increasingly speedy rollout of China’s DCEP to understand why this has become a major priority for central banks everywhere.
