Questioning Money is a 25 episode audio series that analyzes the ways money affects our world. Each episode is 5-8 minutes long and is predominately focused on money and finance, though is not limited to those subjects. Civilizations are built on top of systems of money, which means money has an influence on topics that are not strictly financial.
