Episode 39 with Andrei: Economy, Philosophy, Politics (and other lighter topics)

Today we talk with our good friend Andrei about a huge variety of topics. Andrei is well read, soft-spoken and very knowledgeable (although he will never acknowledge it himself) on a broad range of topics. Aside from his day job as a software developer, he is interested in history, economy and finance, warfare and historical literature, philosophy and Dota2. We start off the episode talking about bitcoins and the world economy, money printing and the gold standard, banking, dogecoin and Elon Musk. Then we swiftly switch gears and talk about books which obviously leads us into talking about philosophy, symbolism, tarot, religion and we attempt debating and analyzing Romanian mythology and fairytales and its importance and effects of us as a nation. Towards the end we start getting political and try to reason the importance of democracy and capitalism. Enjoy ;)
