The Second Coming of Prediction Markets, Live at On Air Fest with Pushkin's Business History

from Everybody's Business · host Bloomberg and iHeartPodcasts

It's a rapturous time to be in prediction markets, but is the promise of Kalshi and Polymarket to "financialize everything" a net good for society, or is it gambling in sheep's clothing? We actually have centuries of history that points towards a potential answer. From this year's On Air Fest in New York City, Everybody's Business and Pushkin Industries' Business History come together to explain the lengths people will go for a life-changing payday. (Or, at the very least, a tote bag at a podcast festival.)Place your bets.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
