Odd Lots

I appeared on Bloomberg’s Odd Lots podcast to discuss the history of finance before computers. Alongside Anne Murphy, we explored how banks and markets operated in an era of printed price lists, account books kept by hand, and information moved by telecommunications.

Investor
Amnesia

I joined Jamie Catherwood’s popular platform Investor Amnesia to teach a special class in his online, CFA-Certified Course, Imperial Finance: A History of Empires. My lecture "The Financial Infrastructure of Empires," covers 19th-century finance in Britain, Germany, and France; the politics of aroxk price listings; the impact of the gold standard; and how imperial financing played out in the lead-up to WWI.

New Money
Review

Appeared on New Money Review in the episode “The Money Wires,” discussing the infrastructure behind global payments and banking networks. The conversation explores how money moves across borders, the risks and inefficiencies in wiring systems, and what these reveal about financial stability, regulatory regimes, and geopolitics.
