We are joined with Colin Drumm to discuss the evolution of the Modern Monetary System and the works of Shakespeare serving as seismographs that reflect changes in conceptions related to currency, debt, and sovereignty. We also discuss about Modern Monetary Theory and its implications in the wake of Covid.

Colin Drumm is a PhD candidate in the History of Consciousness at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He is currently writing a dissertation on the topic of monetary history and political philosophy, with a focus on Mediterranean antiquity and early modern England.
