Consider This from NPR - How Becoming A Refugee Changes You

Inside Ukraine, millions of people have been displaced, with millions more living in increasingly dire conditions. In the city of Maruipol, hundreds of thousands of civilians remain trapped — with dwindling supplies of food and water and no electricity. Mariupol has been bombarded by the Russians for weeks now. Petro Andrushchenko, an adviser to Mariupol's mayor, told NPR civilians in bomb shelters are running out of food. Millions of others have fled Ukraine without knowing if or when they'll be able to return home. Amid that uncertainty, they must start a new life elsewhere. It's an experience only people who've been refugees can truly understand. Mary Louise Kelly talks with refugees from Vietnam, Syria, and Afghanistan about their experiences, how fleeing their home country has affected their life and what life is like now. In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Why the IMF Is Pressuring Argentina to Discourage Crypto

El Salvador’s “Volcano Bond” approaches as the IMF makes Argentina agree to discourage crypto.

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, Arculus and FTX US.  

As many in geopolitics and economics try to understand how the world global order is shifting in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting sanctions (see The Bretton Woods III Thesis), one battleground is the International Monetary Fund versus new forms of debt financing. On today’s episodes, NLW looks at:

  • Why El Salvador’s “Bitcoin Bond” is being delayed, and why it is being issued by a state-owned energy firm 
  • The IMF’s latest agreement with Argentina, and why it focuses on disincentivizing the use of crypto 
  • The Malaysian Communication Ministry’s suggestion the country makes BTC legal tender
