This episode is the audio version of the blog entry by the same name on redthebean.net/blog.html. The purpose of this piece was to make the history of the Bretton Woods conference clear, re-iterate the structure of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank broadly, and review the general plan proposed by Keynes in 1944, though rejected then, so we can see the need to try it for the first time, now, internationally. I'm still learning how to do audio production things, so excuse the sound quality of these first episodes and... stay tuned in case I get better at this. Note: Future episodes will be more curated for podcast listeners, and will not always be the audio versions of my blog entries, but will also include newsletters on current events related to our collective work to build democracies and transform economics in the tech age.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
