Odd Lots: Big Inflation Rethink

On Bloomberg’s Odd Lots Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway explore the most interesting topics in finance, markets, and economics.

When the pandemic struck in 2020, the actor Ben McKenzie (who you might know from The OC) had a lot of time on his hands. And like a lot of people, he suddenly got interested in crypto. But unlike a lot of other people, McKenzie didn’t rush out to buy it. Instead, he dusted off his economics degree and decided to learn about how the industry really works. What he learned shocked him. So McKenzie (along with co-author Jacob Silverman) spent the last few years writing a book titled Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism and the Golden Age of Fraud. In an interview conducted live at the Bloomberg Invest summit in June, McKenzie explains why he thinks the industry is designed to enrich a small group of insiders at the expense of a misinformed public.
