CoinDesk Podcast Network - MONEY REIMAGINED: Current Affairs | Analyzing Israel-Gaza Conflicts, Crypto’s Dual Nature, and the Intriguing World of Crypto Celebrities

A breakdown into the most pressing global issues, shedding light on everything from international conflicts and crypto's implications to the dynamics of celebrity culture and the moral responsibility of our digital age.

This episode is sponsored by PayPal

In this episode of "Money Reimagined" Michael Casey and  Sheila Warren offer an inspection of the pressing issues of our time, from the ongoing turmoil in Israel and the controversial nexus of crypto in terrorism to the alluring realm of crypto celebrity culture, offering their perspectives and expressing their frustration with those who choose to ignore these pressing issues. They discuss the role of crypto in terrorism and how the industry is responding. Warren passionately advocates for diverting funds away from terrorists and emphasizes the need for the crypto industry to unite against illicit activities. The discussion shifts its focus to privacy and surveillance concerns, prompted by a recent hacking incident, and delves into the pervasive skepticism surrounding the crypto industry, in part due to the ongoing SBF trial.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Dieppe Raid (Encore)

In 1942, Allied forces attempted a landing on the coast of France to gain a toe hold on the continent.

Thousands of men took part in the landing…and it was a disaster. Over a thousand men were killed, and over 2,000 were captured. 

Despite being a massive failure, the lessons learned from that raid paved the way for the massive success of the invasion of Europe almost two years later.

Learn more about the raid on Dieppe and how the lessons from the raid were used to make the invasion of Normandy a success on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Margaret Hillenbrand, “On the Edge: Feeling Precarious in China” (Columbia UP, 2023)

Margaret Hillenbrand’s On the Edge: Feeling Precarious in China (Columbia UP, 2023) examines the negative cultural forms that have emerged in response to China’s exclusionary contemporary socioeconomic system. Hillenbrand considers the social strain exerted on members of the “underclass,” the 300 million migrant workers whose toil has underwritten China’s economic rise since the passing of the command economy. She describes the socio-legal condition of disenfranchisement, an internal displacement or “civic-half life” experienced by marginalized workers, as “zombie citizenship,” a purposefully inflammatory definition that evokes both the workers’ experience of civic suspension and their class others’ fears of falling into similar abjection. In this compelling narrative, contemporary Chinese social, legal, and cultural life is wrapped in an ambient mood of jeopardy. 

Through close readings of diverse texts, performances, and films that both amplify and diffuse the violent conflicts of dispossession and dislocation, she makes the case for culture’s capacity to “intervene palpably in social experience.” The cultural forms Hillenbrand introduces and analyzes themselves teeter on the edge, on one hand, the edge of exploitation and aesthetic empowerment. The ugly feelings these works evoke affectively concretize the “ever-impending dissolution of that apparent boundary” between those already on the cliff’s edge and those who may yet come to share this precarious space. I look forward to probing the complexities of this freighted and violent cultural work with our guest.

Julia Keblinska is a postdoc at the East Asian Studies Center at the Ohio State University specializing in Chinese media history and comparative socialisms.

New Books in Native American Studies - Peter Stark, “Gallop Toward the Sun: Tecumseh and William Henry Harrison’s Struggle for the Destiny of a Nation” (Random House, 2023)

The conquest of Indigenous land in the eastern United States through corrupt treaties and genocidal violence laid the groundwork for the conquest of the American West. In Gallop Toward the Sun: Tecumseh and William Henry Harrison's Struggle for the Destiny of a Nation (Random House, 2023), acclaimed author Peter Stark exposes the fundamental conflicts at play through the little-known but consequential struggle between two extraordinary leaders.

William Henry Harrison was born to a prominent Virginia family, the son of a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He journeyed west, became governor of the vast Indiana Territory, and sought statehood by attracting settlers and imposing one-sided treaties.

Tecumseh, by all accounts one of the nineteenth century's greatest leaders, belonged to an honored line of Shawnee warriors and chiefs. His father, killed while fighting the Virginians flooding into Kentucky, extracted a promise from his sons to "never give in" to the land-hungry Americans. An eloquent speaker, Tecumseh traveled from Minnesota to Florida and west to the Great Plains convincing far-flung tribes to join a great confederacy and face down their common enemy. Eager to stop U.S. expansion, the British backed Tecumseh's confederacy in a series of battles during the forgotten western front of the War of 1812 that would determine control over the North American continent.

Tecumseh's brave stand was likely the last chance to protect Indigenous people from U.S. expansion--and prevent the upstart United States from becoming a world power. In this fast-paced narrative--with its sharply drawn characters, high-stakes diplomacy, and bloody battles--Peter Stark brings this pivotal moment to life.
